Reprap Pro Mendel extruder problem
July 25, 2013 11:51AM
Hey guys.

I have bought and build a Reprap pro mendel, from reprappro.com.

I have printed different print with different result and has tweaked and calibrated here and there.

I am now trying to print a bigger print and the last two try the extruder has starting clicking and just moving back and forth. It happen both time, after approx 5 - 6 hours of print time .

I have tried to clean out the nozzle and PTFE tube without luck.
I have measured the voltage at the pot-meter at the stepper controller and have raised it from 0.6 to 0.7 V. Without luck.

I have put a fan to cool down the step controller and have put a heatsink on the extruder motor. Without luck.

Today I tried to start the printer again, but during the first layer the stepper start clicking again.
See video: [youtu.be]

Anybody got any idea, what to do?

Additional info from firmware.

So I tried another again and start monitoring every little thing. I found out, that the nozzle temp, will suddenly turn off. Dont know why, but that is a problem. Now I will try to see if I can solve that.
