Help Da Vinci 1.0 no longer printing
October 09, 2016 09:22PM
Ok so not really sure what happen but everything was fine until last night. I was in the middle of a print and messing with the computer when a video card error popped up and the computer froze. After a minute of the screen flashing on and off the repetier host was not responding and the print stopped. Was I reset the computer and the printer I retried printing the file it started off fine so I went to bed woke up this morning with a bout one inch of the file printed a inch of mess and then nothing above that and the extruded was still making its passes about a four inches above that. So I removed the extruded gave it a good cleaning and reset the bed started the print again this time it would print but it was skipping. So I reset it and it got worse. Every time I kill the print and try it the issue got to the point of nothing coming out. So I cleaned it again tried different filiment started the prin. The first layer printed then started skipping again then nothing. When I lightly place my fingers on the filiment during a print i can feel it jog up and down. I thought the filiment was jamming so I clicked on load filiment just to see what happens it extruded out just fine. Try the print and nothing comes out and the filiment jogs up and down again. I am at a total loss right now the print worked great last night and was almost done with out a single issue and now it won't print at all.

Note: abs 1.75 filiment, repetier host .92.10 hack de vinci 1.0, the idler wheel was a bit loose so I shimmed it and tighted it back up,

ok so heres the update I have removed the sticker off the front of the filament stepper motor and drew a black on the shaft. When I select the load filament option on the printer the black line spins and the filament extruds. when I select a print I tried one pre loaded on the printer and one downloaded from thingivers the black line no longer spins but rather jogs back and forth and the filament will not extrude. what could possiblely allow the stepper motor to function properly when selecting load filament and not to fuction when slected to print. I have adjusted the bed again and have lowered the bed just to see if it would spin. Its hard to think the motor is bad when it fuctions during the load filament. any thoughts.
