Extruder extrudes during filament change, not during regular print

Basically title. Since I had a large glob of filament that I cleared on the hotend, the extruder will only turn during filament change. During regular prints and even during the live z-calibration, it does not extrude filament. 

I made sure that the hotend is completely clear by taking it all apart, so I know there is no jam. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Extruder extrudes during filament change, not during regular print

that's puzzling!

could it be an idler issue maybe? but i can't figure out why it should extrude only during the loading of the filament and not during the print.

Also, try to put some extruder visualizer in order to facilitate the view of the extruder rotation.

I'm not an expert. Ma parlo anche italiano 😉
