Tim said he would send me a new fan so all should be good

I think it's a bad fan. Just tried to run it directly from the power supply and it doesn't spin. So I think thats my issue.

you probably have a polarity issue there as well. Or a bad connection

Is the extruder Fan temperature controlled or does it run all the time?

So, I got the motor running in the right direction. I was a polarity issue. And I have the motor fan working. I still can't get the extruder fan to run however?

Additionally, I set the heat at 75º as a test. no pellets yet. it heats and holds the temp. still no fans or motor?

Hi everyone,
i have my new filastruder wired. The lights all come on and seem to function correctly. The heater is heating and the heater control seems to work properly. however the motor is not turning. And the fans are not coming on. Where did I go wrong?

Thanks
