    Like the way I attached it might've been making it go the wrong way. Idk. I thought i'd give it a try. But is it okay to cut the belt and do what Mark did?

    Oddly enough that fixed it. But now, the gear isn't turning on the extruder. This is a giant puzzle lol

    There are nuts for the bolts with spring on the extruder. These are in slots bove the hobbled bolt

    There is 1 nut that holds the black tab that you pull back to load filament (hinge)

    There is a nut on each clamp/housing the micro switch for the x axis bolts to.

    Can you power down and turn the gear? (Large gregs wade gear)

    Yup. Moves fine.

    Can you take a picture of each nut this might be? Sorry. It sounds super stupid but i'm an extremely visual learner.

    My printer is about an hour from being done. I will as soon as it finishes.

    Also not stupid at all no apologies needed. I ask for the same thing when I have questions. :)

    I'm guessing the stepper was engaged. Try to power on heat up and try it. Also if you have filament touching the hobbled bolt and it's not heated it won't turn

    I have a weird problem when the bed is pre-heating, the extruder goes to a high number (like 260) but when the beds off, it's fine. This was all at the same time, not sure if it works when I try to print something and it pre-heats one at a time.

    That's a new one on me.... I would guess it has to be a glitch. Try to print something and see what happens.

    Pictures of all the nuts close to the x axis. The other microswitch has a nut too but it's towards the case (3rd pic)

    It heats up nearly 50 degrees warmer and then falls to the normal tempature. :confused:

    Thanks for the pics. It was none of those. This thing is maybe half inch in diameter. Maybe a little bit smaller.

    Is this in matter control? Half inch? Yikes the only thing that big I can think of is inside the large gear (wades gear). I'd think it would fall off lol.
