[SOLVED] Nema 14 extruder won't print
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2015 12:32 pm
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.
