Okay yesterday printing was perfect but now the 1 extruder motor stopped working. i would start a print and nothing would happen i don't understand the problem. Could some one please offer some help.the extruder motor isn't working darn it what went wrong. I`m using windows10 and Arduino 1.0.1. I even uploaded the lasted firmware (RKMB-GT2560-G2-S) using Repetier-Host V1.6.0 .

check the motor and motor driver, interchange one of them with the other axis or extruder, so you'll know the driver or the motor is dead.

I did that and nothing... So I uploaded the firmware again. The restarted my computer. The next morning it was working. Issue happened when I tried to auto level. I tried to auto level today and same issue. The filament will manually extrude but won't extrude when printing now. Anybody have any ideas.

If it is that I don't know how to fix. Would I need a volt meter to fix it...
