Of course. :D

Since it's PLA, I'm using it at 200 degrees, but have tried over that just in case.

Re: I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

"unfortunately" the resistance within the pairs match at 3 ohms, and high resistance between the pairs, so that was not the case.
I kept on measuring while bending the cable just in case, and it seems as my cable is intact, after all.

Re: I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

Thank you, will try. I did try the cables out with the beeper option on my multimeter, no shorts, and it does report contact, but if it is only partially, I don't know. Will measure them as suggested, thank you. I hope it is a cabling issue.. easy to fix! I just got to find a few connectors and crim...

Re: Has anyone changed the fan in their power supply?

I ordered a 60mm Noctua fan and replaced the one in the power supply as well.

It is really quiet now, I LIKE it! :D

Only fan I have yet to replace is the 50mm cooling fan, any suggestions for a quiet 24V fan for this?

Re: I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

Well.... I guess I was getting happy too soon.

It worked ... for about 5-10 seconds, then it stopped working again. *growl*
Well, back to the drawing board.

Might be a stepper driver that has blown... but ... we'll see!

Re: I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

Interesting that M212 can "break" your printer, but seems like issue is solved for now.

Will add my VIKI2 later on again to verify all is well and good.

Re: I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

Thank you Ed!

I did rummage around a bit and reset my RAMBo by a M502 followed by M500 to store, and now it seems like it is extruding again!

Woohoo!

Will try with G92 and see what I can find! =)

I think my extruder stepper driver might have died..

Hey all! So, I have an issue with my M2. Symptoms: Extruder not extruding or retracting. In fact, it is not making any movements at all. I have checked that the cable is intact, I checked the fuses on the RAMBo and that all cables are firmly attached. What led up to this? I had just gone through ano...

Re: Cable Chains instead of braids..

Looks great askernas! The files by jhaupt on this are incomplete, and the bracket for this one is 0 bytes. I don't know what happened, they're fixed now. jdacal managed to print them so maybe Thingiverse did something weird. They were 0 bytes when I downloaded them, but since, I have made my own an...

Instead of cussing over Arduino...

.. not working when you are trying to update Marlin in your beloved M2 and spend an hour googling and trying and getting more and more frustrated.. How about not just quitting Simplify3D first, so the USB port is free instead? That would work MUCH better.. Note to self. //Micke, now running Marlin 1...
