The extruder suddenly stopped working after I cleared a jam that caused it to grind.

  • I tried every combination of motor and cable to trace the problem. It seems the only fault is the extruder’s motherboard connector.

  • The motor is functional. I connected it to the XYZ motor cables and it spins on every one.

  • Nothing happened when I tried plugging the other axis cables into the extruder port on the motherboard.

  • Finally, I am comfortable using a multimeter and soldering iron, but don’t have immediate access to them.

I really appreciate any advice on this because I miss printing!

    Do make sure you’re running the nozzle, if you’re trying to move axis from the menu, Enders’ won’t let you move the extruder if it isn’t heated, it has fooled me a few times
