    Hi all im having problems with my extruder motor. If I tell the printer to extrude though matter control it works fine. But when I i start a print as soon as it start to print the extruder motors goes into over drivers and start spinning at least 5 times as quick as it should. the filament then jams as it cant be feed that quickly.
    Any idea what is causing the problems and how to fix it?

    Try another slicer program (something other than matter control). Eliminate the software before we consider anything else.

    it is something to do with matter control. I used my other robo printer's laptop and the printer worked fine. Time to uninstall and reinstall and hope that works.

    That is (apparently) step 1 with MC. Good luck.

    I used cura after I was sick of the bugs in matter control. It's also free. I eventually paid for simplify 3d. Might want to try a different slicer all together if nothing else just for fun

    deleted the printer from matter control and re installed it. all fixed. Cura looks good. just dont have time to try ti and get it all perfect like I have with matter control.
