Test extruder motor

Hello everyone,

In the menu ‘Move axis’ you can find under 1 mm or 0.1 mm the option EXTRUDER 1.
I tried to increase and decrease the position of EXTRUDER 1, however nothing happend on the extruder motor.

Is that normal?

Cheers,

This is normal behavior as the hotend is cold the extruder will not run… This is just a safety.

Oh all right then :slight_smile:

If I don’t insert filament and I heat the extruder can I test then the stepper motor?
Or can it cause some problems when their isn’t filament in the extruder while heating?

Cheers,
Dylan

Heating the extruder without filament should normally not be any problem.
