Extruding problems - goes backward

Extruding problems - goes backward
August 24, 2016 03:29PM
Hello,

This is my hotend:
[i.ytimg.com]

Nozzle size is 0.5mm

Cura 3d settings:


I'm using RAMPS 1.4 and this is my extruder motor:
[g01.a.alicdn.com]

This is my configuration file:
[pastebin.com]

Quote
configuration.h
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {107.5,107.5,175.0,86.4}
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {100, 100, 20, 205}
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION {100,100,100,100}

AXIS STEPS PER UNIT for extruder is 86.4 and when I press extrude 1000mm (1000mm/min) in pronterface I got exactly 1 meter extruded filament.



The problem is that when I push filament (by hand) on heated hotend It gets extruded but when It comes to the printing when extruder is working very slowly filament doesn't come out from hotend. I dont use teflon PTFE tube (just regular hydraulic) one and fan to cool radiator. Any sugestions how to fix problem and improve printing process?

Please forgive audio/video quality and poor language skills.



PS Please note that this project is to make just few poor quality printings.

You need to invert the extruder stepper direction if its moving backwards during a print. see below:

Invert stepper motor direction

You can invert the stepper motor direction if it was wired the wrong way. It doesn’t make a difference if you invert the stepper motor wiring or if you invert it in the code. *Remember to power off the printer before unplugging or replugging the stepper motors.


#define INVERT_X_DIR false

#define INVERT_Y_DIR true

#define INVERT_Z_DIR true

#define INVERT_E0_DIR true <------ this is the one you need to change from whatever you have it as to the opposite.

#define INVERT_E1_DIR true

#define INVERT_E2_DIR false


Or unplug the extruder stepper wire from ramps, and plug it backin with the wire colours going the opposite order
