Extruder motor making noise but not working

victorduchateau
victorduchateau over 8 years ago

Hi,

 

Recently I bought a 3d Printer and everything's working fine except for the extruder motor. It makes this loud ticking sound and back and forth a bit.

I'm using a RAMPS 1.4 shield on an Arduino Mega 2560.

 

Thanks in advance

Victor

    Yes, this problem evetualily made me park my Printrbot. They have made a $70 fix for mine, the problem some use to say was the motor needed voltage adjustment on the board, but the problem is to much torque…

    If you go with a larger motor, you run into more issues since the board will not power it most likely.

    You could see if you lessen the amount of torque and tension that the filament is under but it may not feed it then.

    Yes, this problem evetualily made me park my Printrbot. They have made a $70 fix for mine, the problem some use to say was the motor needed voltage adjustment on the board, but the problem is to much torque for that size motor, if you can get a gear like filament feeder this may fix it, that's what Printrbot did for their issues.
