I've been having problems with a loose wire on my printer bed. Normally, when it comes loose, the bed temperature display in Simplify3d displays "0" and the bed stops heating.
Today, I soldered the wire again and everything seemed ok-- the nozzle and bed heated up to the correct temperature, and I tried to print, but the bed and extruder remain motionless. I can see communication happening between my computer and M2 (lines of gcode apparently executing) but nothing extrudes and none of the parts move.
Could I have shorted something out? I used high temperature adhesive tape to hold my soldering in place.. Maybe a bad idea?
I appreciate any thoughts or input.

Re: Communication, but no motion from stepper motors
On closer inspection, I see that the wire just came loise again. Ordered a flux pen and will solder it again. Odd that it failed in a different way than before.
