Can't get extruder stepper to work properly I'm using the techzone remix electronics. The extruder motor will occasionally spin when i hit the extruder button. Other times the extruder stepper will lock. Sometimes the stepper will turn clockwise while other times it turns counter clockwise. THe same is for the reverse button, sometimes it works somethimes it dosen't. I've tried adjusting the pot on the extruder but i can't seem to get it dialed in. It will spin perfect one or two times, the third time it will will lock. I've tried wiring one of my steppers drivers to drive the extruder to see if it would work better, however it just locks the motor without letting it spin. Does anyone have any ideas of what i can try?

Basically it was an issue with the motherboard on my gen3 remix not being grounded.]]> ensgrp Controllers Tue, 05 Oct 2010 09:32:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,62332,62623#msg-62623 Re: Can't get extruder stepper to work properly https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,62332,62623#msg-62623 Triffid_Hunter Controllers Tue, 05 Oct 2010 01:09:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,62332,62478#msg-62478 Re: Can't get extruder stepper to work properly https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,62332,62478#msg-62478
in my Gen3 electronics the analog ground and digital ground was not connected and that caused a similar problem.
