Nextruder issue, and Homing?

 

This may be a double post, I tried posting it at like 1 am last night, and when I came back this morning, I received a 404 and couldn't find it, so If it is a double post, i'll delete, and I apologize. But, anyways! I finished assembling my Prusa Core One + last evening, I used the Prusa web app to get the correct HZ with the belts, everything calibrated, except the homing calibration said it was unable to be completed, but then I noticed that the calibration had a green check mark off, so I'm unsure if this is a software issue, and it actually calibrated? or if it's not actually calibrated. 

 

Secondly, and this is more of an issue, and i'm not quite sure what the deal is. The nextruder is making that terrible grinding noise, I went through the entire nextruder assembly again and double checked everything (I didn't take it all apart and rebuilt it, just double checked everything with each step and what I could see with the cover off). But as you can see the nextruder starts to spin, and then it seems like it catches and just grinds and bumps back and forth. Any help is beyond appreciated, seriously beyond appreciated.

RE: Nextruder issue, and Homing?

1. Homing calibration failed because the gantry is not square. You probably skewed it when you tensioned the belts. You must turn both screws by the same amount. Completely loosen the belts, then manually bend the gantry until it is square with the frame, use this as a guide: Adjusting belt tension read it carefully. Then turn each screw the same amount alternating between screws until the belts come under tension. Then only turn each screw 1/4 or 1/8th of a turn, always in the same direction and by the same amount. 

2. If I were to guess, you don't have the nozzle fully inserted into the heatsink that or the tensioning screws on the idler are too tight. Make sure it is inserted fully like this

Ahg, so, i'm so lost at this point. The PG ring and the gears spin when off of the motor, the motor spins freely with nothing on it. The space is on the motor spindle, but when I attach them, it locks up. I referenced my MK4S nextruder, and i can stick my finger in and spin that one pretty freely, I can't do that on this Core One assembly. My assumption was that it must be getting tweaked on tightening and not be straight, but I've tried a ton of different tightening strengths and I followed the correct tightening order, but nothing. I went over the assembly again and everything seems perfect. Also, the motor is pretty lose until I tighten it with the grub screw and the other 3 screws that attach the entire assembly, I'm assuming that is supposed to be that way?

 

On a positive note, I did get it homed correctly though! Thank you!

I just chatted with support, and they thought maybe the motor didn't have enough power to spin, but on my MK4s I can spin the nextruder gear from the opening when the latch is open, I can't do that on the core one so that doesnt seem like the issue,  and then my other thought would be potentially its a bad PG ring that just isn't QUITE right when the shaft is going through the gear.
