[SOLVED] Nema 14 extruder won't print

Post by enggmaug »

Hello ev1,

Here is my puzzle of the week end.

I installed a Nema 14 to drive my flexible filament extruder.

It does work beautifully when I try it out with the repetier host commands : The filament feeds normally when I hit the arrows in repetier host.
But it will not turn for even one step when running over GCODE.

I tried a wide range of currents (from 100 to 200 in repetier firmware), I tried to increase or decrease the steps/mm also.

The same GCODE does extrude filament if I plugg a Nema 17 instead.

Any ideas ?

Edit : [SOLVED] :
The mistake was in my filament settings : Extrudder flow was set to 1, instead of 100.

Took me a while to figure that out.
