Topic: Motor doesn't run, Stall Protector gives me 0.1A

Hi everyone!
So I finish the assembly of my Filastruder but the motor is not running.
I set the stall protector up following the assembly instructions (7 and 15 clockwise rotations for CC and CV). But I'm getting 11.7V and only 0.01A! So the motor is not running...

My heater and both fans are running fine, and I checked the motor isn't burned, so I suppose it's a stall controller setting problem... Does anyone knows what can I be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Double triple check wiring . reread the instructions a couple times .then you may be able to tell us.
I am not familiar with the filastuder . but do have extensive electronics background. it is way to easy to think a wire is connected and find it is not.  IIRC the stall protection should be set for 1 amp not 0.1 A .

IMHO, those "number of turns" are just starting points. You may have to turn them more. With no material inside, you can basically turn up the amp pot until the motor starts moving. Keep going until you get the LED to turn blue rather than red and stop there.
