Hmmm thanks for the replies! I will certainly watch the extruder for now but after the hardware upgrade I will do an extruder upgrade as well than. Is the sprinter, sli3r, pronterface combo where it is at these days as well? or would you recommend something different for my set up? Thanks again guys I can't wait to get this going again!by jonnyboy323 - General
Hello all and welcome to project revival. The Backstory: I have inherited a mendel from my older brother that we tried to get working a couple years ago. I helped him with the build but he handled all the software/firmware so I am in the dark on what it has on it now. We got it sort of working (printed some calibration cubes) and that is about it. Now, I have decided to get the poor thing workiby jonnyboy323 - General

Here is my problem, All electronics and cables are connected but the only issue i am having is my stepper extruder doesn't spin. The group of 4 led's on the extruder board blink when I press extruded in the RepRap Software like the stepper axis boards. I know the stepper motor works fine and I have tried two different steppers motors with no luck. What suggestions do you have to get my extruderby jonnyboy323 - General
