Re: Electron Prusa i3 E-Motor not moving filament - 10 years ago
Well, I'm one step closer to fixing the issue, but there's still a problem. The extruder was missing a spring and the guide wheel, which I added, but there's not enough friction between the filament and the motor to push it down. I can hear it whirring when I manually move it 1mm while the PLA is heated, but there's no plastic coming out the nozzle. As for what you said, I'm not sure I understanby StoneColdLoki - Prusa i3 and variants

I might have put this in the wrong section, so I'll just post the same topic again here. If anyone sees a thread with the same title somewhere else, delete it. So while everything about the printer works fine, the E-Motor is not moving the filament through the nozzle. I manually step it 1mm at a time and nothing comes out. The filament goes through just fine, so there's no clogging or expandingby StoneColdLoki - Prusa i3 and variants

I'm having a problem with my filament not extruding. After calibrating everything, the machine runs fine. The wires are all connected properly, the bed's level, the heating is good, but the E-Motor does not seem to be in contact with the filament because after I heat up the nozzle and confirm that the filament is fed through the right hole, I step the E-Motor 1mm and it whirs but no filament comeby StoneColdLoki - General Mendel Topics
