Re: Extruder idler plug

It fell out ? - something disconnected from the Einsy control board or is this something on the extruder itself ?

Extruder 'idler' is confusing ... have you tried looking at the build instruction in the support area ? there are some pretty good pictures there that may help. You need to select the section that has the 'idler' plug in it but if it's electrical it is section 8 off the top of my head.

edit : here is a link
