Hi everyone,
I just ran into a problem with my new Mendel. When I turn it on and start printing I can see the filament going down and making the first 2-3 layers. After that, the motor feeding the PLA stops working and I have to stop the print.
If I touch it, it's a bit hot so I think it stops for this reason (a bit hotter than the other motors)
If I use pronterface and ask it to extrude, say, 2mm, the motor starts vibrating a bit and then stops, but it doesn't move. If I try to move the motor gear with my hands, it still works.
If I do the same when the printer is just turned on, everything goes fine.
Using nophead's Mendel90 model, green PLA.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance
