Topic: FilaWinder Servo motor is sporadic and finicky

Hello 3D printing community,

Can anyone please help me/give me suggestions about why my FilaWinder servo motor is not working.  When I try to set the guide using the left/right buttons the guide moves sporadically in any which way direction and then keeps fidgeting.  I just replaced the electrical board and have checked a million times to make sure the wiring is correct.  Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I had a servo go bad on me.  Do you have another one that you can troubleshoot with?

Ian is somewhere is Alaska right now, but I'm sure he'll get you sorted out as soon as he gets Internet back.

Hello,

I am having the same problem with my guide, I can't set it up as it randomly moves and fidgets. Did this issue eventually get sorted out?

Thank you!

WILL SOMEONE TELL ME THE FIX FOR THIS? Im hoping to find the answer posted in here as I just got the Filastruder 2.0 #1981 and the winder is doing the same thing but I have no sensor/laser L R C or M and the servo is going crazy mostly left....very odd when I touch the nano the drive motor starts. ANY help would be great while I setup the extruder.
Thanks, Jerad

I find that my one does it too, but if you keep holding the button and gently turning the knob it eventually settles and you can adjust it. Not really a fix, but I've made it work this way.
