extruder motor i think.

M201
I’ve had this printer a while now and not been able to print anything so I got it back out because of off our lockdown to try again.
I have replaced the heat bed and the control board and a few other bits.
The extruder motor now turns then jumps back about an 1/8 rotation that’s both motors doing it.
I now you can change voltage on the stepper but will work? As I am not willing to spend loads of money on it as I have had it a long time and will put money to another one.
I would like to know do I have to set stepper motor with new control board and to what voltage.
1 is 0.56 and the other is 0.62 volts

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi
I have swopped the stepper motors around and cable still same is that what you mean by driver?

My board is the GTM32 B and in one of the pictures A4988 all jumpers in and the other on only 1 jumper is in. On my board all 3 jumpers in on all of them.

It all said on the GTM32 is 3.3V mine is 3.25 on both the extruders motors.

Did I say the same thing is ongoing in the other extruder motor when I change the mix.

I all so noticed just before printer starts the print and does the purge filament the extruder turn ok well I think so does about ½ turn with out jumping back.

Thanks

This is the user manual, you can use Repetier-Host.
Now Easy Print 3D is rarely used.
