        <title>Extruder skipping steps</title>
        <description> I have dual extruders and my second extruder skips steps whenever I print with it.  I have tried increasing the current by turning the little screw on the driver counterclockwise, which makes it stop skipping, but then the printer shuts down mid-print, which probably means it was using too much voltage.  Is there a better way to resolve this issue than increasing the current?  Thanks in advance</description>
