Hi
I have built a prusa i3 rework and start to test motors. x y z motors and end stops working fine.
The extruder motor has a problem

I command extruder motor to move +10 and the motor moves forward and backward and does not turn.
Cable order should be fine. I changed the step driver and it is still not functioning properly.

What may be the problem?

Have you heated up the hot end? It may just be energizing and powering off again.

Thanks. I found the problem.
The acceleration rate was 3000 in the firmware. I decreased it to 300 and it works fine now.
