Topic: burnt motor, slow extrusions, low temp to blame?
I've been extruding constantly for 2 weeks or so and burnt out my motor, was doing pla @ 150-170c, and abs from 180-200, had really slow extrusions, like -1inch/m. could also have been loose wiring? my wiring skills are suck
looking into a cheap dc motor to replace the one on the gearmotor, i'll update on that.
just went through it and soldered all the wiring joins besides on the pid, and the crimp on the motor switch was very loose and slid right out of the crimp.. think i found my problem, guess I paid for that lesson.
