Extruder malfunction,

Vangelis Andy Roussos

 Extruder (Filament Feeder) does not feed filament the gear doe not turn, I have not carried out any tests to see if there is power present, or checked continuity, I need a wiring diagram, can anyone assist?

Hi, First check the extruder temp is ok. If you don't reach the right temp: mini 190°C, you cannot attempt to run extruder motor.

Further to my Extruder Malfunction firstly let me thank Samuel and Enrique for their advise, Enrique was correct and the fault is that the nozzle does not heat up at all, can some one tell me what and where to look next in order to rectify this problem. I know nothing about repairing the Printer but I am willing to try anything, I can design a part and send it to the printer and that is about it. I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi @Vangelis Andy Roussos 

- Does the bed heat up?

- What nozzle temperature reading do you get when the printer turns on?
