			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>OK, I&#039;m a bit frustrated.</p><p>I had this problem a year ago. I couldn&#039;t solve it and got no help. I thought maybe it was the board.</p><p>So, now I replaced the board with the new one. I got the power supply connected with a new plug (the original board had wire connection)</p><p>I got things working. Then, half way through a test print, it stopped extruding. I thought I had some kind of a motor problem as the motor seemed to isolate and not go anywhere.</p><p>I clear out the filament, found a bit of material in the drive/bearing where the filament feeds through.</p><p>I cleared the clog in the nozzle.</p><p>Now, the extruder motor only rotates in one direction. in the retract direction.</p><p>I am no further than I was a year ago.</p><p>Some one mentioned &quot;tuning&quot; the motor(s). Where do I find those instructions?</p><p>As a test, I turned off printer. I switched stepper connections on the board, to see I could make the motor move if I press the Z button. I got the motor to rotate in both directions. Pressing the extruder buttons to make the Z axis move did not seem to make the Z move.</p><p>In any case, what is cause of extruder motor only rotate in one direction, that is, only rotates in retract directions whether I press extrude or retract button?</p><p>This must be unique to my computer as it doesn&#039;t seem as if anyone else has ever had this problem.</p><p>What do I do now?</p><p>nltnme</p>]]></content>
