Hot End stepper motor not feeding plastic

Post by Potatohead908 »

I am still in the process of setting up my MAX V2. Everything has worked as it should to this point in the instructions up to this point. I can move the stepper by hand with the power on so I'm thinking it doesn't have power. This could be a wiring issue or a fuse issue. I will look into the wiring tonight when I get home. Is there any other things I should look at? Again everything else has worked up to this point in the instructions. I have calibrated the axis and am almost ready to start printing.

Simple fix. I skipped two sockets instead of one when I connected the stepper to the board. Ooops!
