According factory specifications runing motor without load takes from source
0.55A. In my case i takes more than 2A.

I have broblem with my new Filastruder, with motor RS 775SH series.
It seems it's thread 'motor is too much stuffed, probably factory defect,
and it soak too much current (abot 2A and 3A) with no load (without gears attached.
Has somebodu else this problem?

If there is muck on the commutator lugs you get the situation where the motor does not start. Just rotate the motor armature via the cooling fan and try again.

Post text ....

The armature was ok in that you measure the resistance between neighbouring commutator pads and between opposite 180 degree positioned pads, and between pad and shaft/pole. There are five poles on this one.
Seemed ok in that the ohms were about 0.6 and no higher (measured in M ohms) values, that would indicate open circuit, and no short circuits to armature.

You can also unscrew the motor from the gearbox. Attempting to run it standalone will determine whether the motor or gearbox has failed.

It's worth inspecting them. If the gears are fine, I can supply a motor for a whole lot less than the full gear motor. If its a faulty gear, I have spares of those too.

500 hours is some serious filament production!

Does it run unloaded? (no auger attached)

Beta motor or standard?
