Extruded failing near front of bed!!!!

All the post here, for the most part, can be misleading. If your extruder fails to print at the front of the bed, or corner, you may have a broken wire! Not to say others post are wrong, and for the most part, depending, could be correct but in my case the extruder stayed heated, bed is calabrated, and there is no clogs in the heated head. Yet, the print near the very front area missed layers. The head would go over it and stopped laying layers!

If you have this problem and all else fails, pull off extruder and let it hang.
2) watch the gear on the stepper motor end and try running "load filament."
3) if gear is acting strange and barely moves, pull spiral wrap off harness from stepper motor
4) flat plug 4 wires on stepper motor, has a red wire going into harness.
5) important...locate where the harness bends ( couple inches from stepper motor plug).
6) while running load filament...bend red wire, move it back and forth.
7) if you notice gear starts acting normal you found a bad area of wire.
8) cut out a couple of inches and install, simaller gauge wire with 20-22 butt connectors.
9) or to be safe run continuity test at red wire opening motor plug and connector on board on back side of machine top row... I had 1 ohm other colors (wires) had 6.75...

I sold connectors for 31 years, small butt connectors work fine but soder is better, yet a pain in the rear and like the other wires in that "bending area" will fail, down the road anyway... You can't expect cheap small gauge wire to keep bending and last forever.

Happy printing!!!!
