Filament feed gear not turn in tool head
My #1 tool stopped feeding filament. I opened the tension door, did an unload/load/purge, etc and the gear is never moving. I can manually turn it so it does not appear to be jammed.
Any ideas?
Best Answer by Kurt Gluck:
First check all your wires something may be loose.
Next you can swap the wires on the big board in the back temporally between 1 & 2 to see if that does anything different. Of course tool picking won't work.
Next.. you could do a printer full reset. Of course then you have to do ALL the calibrations again.
I have heard in other strange cases that this fixes weird problems.
Or you can call support and have them tell you to do that 🙂

lol...after I read your post, I realized I hadn't even tried to do a reset after all my testing.
Yep...just a straight reset seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

Well I spoke too soon. It barely got through one layer and stopped again. I shall try swapping the cables - great idea.

Same problem here.... only happen on position 1.
Position 2 works well...
I swap head 2 to position 1 and same problem... the head 1 on position 2 works well... so definitively position 1 is the problem.
