o Is the extruder stepper holding torque (to check if it's actually powered) ? I think it should be holding torque at all times when the machine is running yes, it does o The extruder could refuse to move if the temperature of the nozzle isn't high enough. Could you verify that the temperature reading is good and that the nozzle heats properly? A very common failure mode of Thing-o-matics is that the heating resistors on the extruder burn out. today, i did not heat the extruder at all, but last time i did heat it to approx. 225°C, and the extruder did not work… maybe the temperature was too low?
