K8200 3D Printer K8200 - Issues while printing
1

Hi everyone,

I’m just starting to print my first print (the board cover from the manual). Everything goes fine up untill the point when the printer starts to print. It looks like the extruder motor can’t turn the wheel and therefor can not keep extruding material… Any tips ? :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

Increase the voltage of the stepper driver module to 0.55 V.

Also pay attention that the gears are not set too tight, as that will block the motor too.
If both doesn’t help, come back here. :wink:

cheers,

Christian

Giving the gears more space did the trick! I also cracked up the voltage but I might lower it again since it might not need it and it’s only going to make the drivers overheat faster
