(Solved) Extruder "clicking" after printing

[Lasivian]

I am getting a tiny jerk and a click after I print things.

Triffid_hunter in #reprap said this is likely due to the stepper driver overheating.

But I am seeing that on the Rambo the current is set digitally not with a pot. So I am assuming it is correct.

Suggestions/ideas?

Thanks


EDIT: The thermistor seems to be off and the heat was too low (Even when it says 210c) for the .35 nozzle so the motor kept trying to force the filament.

I suppose this should be moved to the troubleshooting forum.

Edited, superceded.

I wouldn't reduce it at all. I'd add a cooling fan to the back wall of where the RAMBo is mounted, or print that neat fan shroud that Chrissi designed that fits in the LCD door.

Do you have a link to this at all? I cannot seem to find it.

Thanks

Because it was superseded by others who apparently had better ideas.

Hey Chrissi! Can you post a link to that slick LCD door fan shroud you designed? I can't find the link either.

For now tho leaving the LCD door open seems to give it enough air.
