Extruder not turning

Hello,

I have my extruder not turning at all.
For information I test it with warming and without warming head.
motor does not turn.
Before it was making strange noise but not anymore and do not turn
I tried :
change cable
change motor
move extruder from pronterface
move extruder from printer itself without success
I have a delta kossel K800xl mega2560+at with unknown driver the less expensive I suppose I can make picture of them + marlin 1.1.9.1

I have similar problem but with other 3d printer, you can try to change E driver for Z driver for example and try if extruder start to work.

My board is creality 1.1.5 (little use) and extruder stop while printing, I changed tmc2208 driver, changed to marlin 2, driver got good voltage but doesn't start (no current). One strange thing is when I move X (or Y) driver, E and Y motors receive current and are blocked, X works ok.

A stepper will make a growling noise and not turn if its wires are connected to the driver in the wrong way, so maybe your wires are crossed.

there is no noise at all on the motor and I tried to cross/uncross cable on board connector : No change

Maybe, if on the AT2560 I can manage a second extruder on another connector. maybe I can use this ?
problem is I do not know how to change marlin to have extruder 2 as default
and if I need to change driver position on the board ?

if it has a unused extruder. you simply change the pins over.

so marlin still thinks it is moving E0, but it is really moving E1.


If its a ramps edit Marlin/pins_RAMPS.h has this code

#define E0_STEP_PIN        26
#define E0_DIR_PIN         28
#define E0_ENABLE_PIN      24
#ifndef E0_CS_PIN
  #define E0_CS_PIN        42
#endif

#define E1_STEP_PIN        36
#define E1_DIR_PIN         34
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN      30
#ifndef E1_CS_PIN
  #define E1_CS_PIN        44
#endif

just change all E0_ to E1_ in the first block, and all E1_ to E0_ in the second block.

Now marlin uses the physical E1 port as E0

Hello,

sorry for the delay in answering... after a long time I did not touch printer because too demoralised with this printer I came back and found issue... I connected on the wrong port. E1 instead of E0.... so it's working now thank for your help.
In the meantime I still can not print extruder is not enough strong to push pla. I need to turn screw on A4899 to put higher voltage but as i do not know what is ref of my motor...
I changed to an SKR1.03 + tmc5160 but I encounter some other issue. I will open new topic

thx for your help
