Unresolved Stepper motor not moving

Might just be a dead driver. Switch extruder wire on board with x wire on board. When you press extrude x should move. When you press x extruder should move. This will tell you board or motor...wire could be an issue but lets start here

 

So when you swapper x and extruder what happened ?

 

So list of components- stepper(proven to work as you swapped the wires and the issue moved.

All that's left is

Driver- you swapped and it didn't change (assuming you set them?)

Wiring- you did see an issue so likely culprit if the connector and pin arnt right- if under warranty request a replacement from robo

Ramps- could be but not often a failure

Arduino- very unlikely but possible.

I'd start with the wiring. Continuity check by unplugging from ramps and motor and probe wire by wire to see if there Is a break. Visually inspect for that connector/pin being lose again.

 

Your very welcome, keep us posted and we will help

 

i would tend to agree but still worth checking. Sometimes the connection is just loose

 

I don't have an r1 but I'd suggest you plug ext 1 in and try it. I thought ext 2 was empty

 

Oh gotya. It may work. An r1 ramps on Amazon is around 10 bucks

No problem. Here is a link to kits that have all parts for our printers (r1 is direct swap). The ramps are about 10 but for a little more you get all the electronics except the stepper wiring

Not a bad thing to have spares

 

yea that doesn't work well lol.
