Re: How to replace extruder motor

Now I connected the Y axis connector to the extruder motor. The video shows what happens when I move the Y axis 50mm. The motor axis does not move.

Re: How to replace extruder motor

Re: Z-Axis homes above the extruder

The problem is the screw at my printer is not as long as the one on the photo and the screw is tighten all the way. I'll use a drinking straw to supplement the size of the screw.

What is the optimum distance between the extruder tip and the table when printing starts?
