Hi,
My Extruder making noise and don't move after a few printing time.
After cleaning the PLA and start the printing the first layer generally goes well, but after the noise is starting and I see the motor is struggling.
It looks like a plastic jam...
If I help the wire during the printing, it goes well...
Can you tell me how to fix that?

Hi, You can check if your extruder motor line is pressed, and then see if your extruder motor can run normally.
if the Extruder motor can't run normally, you can try swapping the normal motor wire with the extruder motor wire.

Hi,
it can work normally, but if i let it go without help it will start to noise and struggle... and the plastic will stop to flow...

Hi，You can check 1.whether your extruder motor can run normally,
2. the spring tension of the feeder,
3.and whether the voltage of the corresponding drive board of the extruder motor is in the range of 0.8-1.2V.

1- I think yes
2- I don't know how to do that???
3- I check all my devices ti 1.0V

can you please tell me how to check the spring tension of the feeder ?

I found the problem when I check the gap between idler wheel and gear :
one piece is broken...
what can I do to use the warranty?

Hi,if this is the case, you can contact your salesman to say what the situation is and replace it accordingly.

inside it's worse...

Hi Zolric,
In case you were not aware...
You can get an aluminium replacement version very cheap on ebay !
This is better than the plastic version.
