So I dismantled everything.
Checked all cables for defects.
Replugged all plugs.
Drilled the nozzle to make sure its perfectly good.
Afterwards the motor was running again. Not sure if just coincidence.
Next print was inconsistent. Some areas of print bed perfect extrusion and some areas no extrusion at all.
Made me guess its the teflon tube.
So I removed the tube and made sure all cables and t

The nozzle is free. If I press the filament from the top it extracts.
I removed the motor from its houseing and so there is no external resistance for the motor and gear.

Update.
After a lot of tests I noticed the motor is not turning anymore.
So the problems seem to have come from the motor.
I fear to have damaged the motor with wrong speed settings.
What I don't understand is that even with retraction speed set to 40mm/min, when pressing retract in manual control, it moves way faster. And it did not sound that healthy, maybe because of too fast speed?
So why is

Hi,
after Zeepro silently closed down I am trying to operate the Zim 3D printer via USB and Repetier. And I guess all other Zim users will have to follow if they want to further use their printer.
After configuration and tests with manual control, everything seems fine.
Motors operate with the correct speeds, heat bed and extruders heat up and cool down correctly and cooling fans work as well.
