        <title>Help with extruder stepper</title>
        <description> I&#039;m using wades geared extruder with a nema 17 stepper. The temperature sensor works along with the heated barrel. How would i test the stepper on the extruder to make sure it works.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I think I have it working. If i turn the extruder on the extruder motor truns for about 5 seconds and then holds with torque. Press it off does the same thing. Is this normal behavior?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ It works fine when connected to one of the axis. When its connected to the extruder, i can turn the stepper manually which causes the power light to come on (like the other axis). When I press the extrude button, nothing happens. Will it only extrude when the heater is at a certain temp? Is there a way i can force the stepper when it's attached to the extruder?]]></description>
