Extruders do not work in the midprint, but work when it is not printing

Hi

I bought prusa XL this june and have used it a lot and gained many good experiences.

I am using 5 tool tool heads and recent few months, i am suffering from severe printing failure

I found out that extruders do not rotate during midprint.

Usually when extruders are rotating, we can see them rotate when we open the cover.

However, i found out that they do not rotate in the midprint.

But one more thing that makes me crazy is that when i purge the filament after the printing is over, it purge the filaments

as if there was no problem.

Especially, i found out that head 1 and 2 have that issue.

I've checked all the other issues.
Nozzles are not clogged

and i thought that weak electrical wiring can be the reason, but still it does not make sense because it purges the filaments when it is not printing.

 

Please i want some help.

Thanks

I also have this issue, but there is a fix! It seems the cable connector on the stock extruders can Over time, will slowly back out of the dwarf-cover-base and put strain on the white plug connected to the dwarf board.

I am testing this fix currently with a four color 9 hour print.

Two multicolor prints done without issues, I'm feeling optimistic.
