Extruder motor wont move
June 23, 2016 01:38PM
I have set up my new machine and have everything working except the extruder motor that hums and locks up when it is told to extrude. I know the motor works because when i plug it into the x axis it will spin. I also know the driver works because the driver can be used to drive the x axis. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thank you for your help.

There is a prevention for cold extrusion in marlin.
//this prevents dangerous Extruder moves, i.e. if the temperature is under the limit
//can be software-disabled for whatever purposes by
#define PREVENT_DANGEROUS_EXTRUDE
//if PREVENT_DANGEROUS_EXTRUDE is on, you can still disable (uncomment) very long bits of extrusion separately.
#define PREVENT_LENGTHY_EXTRUDE

#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 170
#define EXTRUDE_MAXLENGTH (X_MAX_LENGTH+Y_MAX_LENGTH) //prevent extrusion of very large distances.



Your hotend temperature must be higher.
