I have a dual extruder module that doesn’t seem to want to do anything when it gets to the Load/Unload Filament stage. It goes through the calibration fine, and hot-end heating, but then doesn’t do anything when I hit Load Filament or Unload. No sound, no movement of the gear if I open up the filament path (with filament pushed through the entire hot-end. I replaced the module with a new one (I got the old one a few years ago - this is after taking a long break from 3D Printing stuff..), same behavior. The new one could get to the Calibration Printing, which did didn’t do anything either filament-pushing-wise. (*)
Can you mount the module (with Quick Snap Kit if necessary) without the cover so I could check to see if the motors are working in vivo as it were? [“as it was”? “as it would be”?]
(*) I managed to lose the two little-bitty plastic filament-sensor-screw-gap-toroids, so I’d need the Replacement Kit for Dual Extrusion Module for that or figure out how to print a more steady one. The kit has the metal trigger pads too, which I presume would be more reliable, even if not strictly needed.
Why isn’t the “screw holder thing” a single piece of plastic that holds the screws on both sensors, rather than two little-bitty toroids? That might be easier for whatever pick-and-place machine that manufactures the module in the first place.
But I have no idea how modern fully-automated assembly lines work.. Especially in China. I’m guessing they have factories that are automated to an order of magnitude more than the U.S. So much for .. some people’s dreams/fantasies.. 是時候開始學習漢語了，為了世界的未來。希望那是一個後匱乏、後恐懼的世界。。(That’s a joke - maybe)
