Thank you for the guide. I have the same problem with my Genius. When the extrusion wheel starts ticking I have noticed that if I help the whell with a little push with the finger it starts again to extrude. Then the problem happens again later in the printing. If it is a cable/pcb board problem, it shouldn't restart to extrude or not ? Thank you very much in advace
Depends on how damaged the cable/board are. It may be small, but it could be possible that it has some slight damage and when you push it with your finger, you help it overcome the resistance inside the motor for a short time (speculation). I'd recommend if you have a spare cable, first test to see if this is the problem. You don't have to completely remove the old one, just leave it while you plug the "new" one to test the extruder functionality. If not, it could be a board problem. The last thing it could be is a motor problem. This is the extend to which I know.

@@jarodmica I recently disassembled the extruder to change the plastic extruder arm because it broke, and when I reassembled it, the extruder motor had a hard time moving the wheel, even not moving at all, making noises like the ones in your video. Turns out I over-tightened the screws behind the left fan. Loosening them slightly stopped making noise and works without problems. I had to put a few drops of thread-locking fluid on it because it would loosen up on its own anyway.
Good video, keep making them.
Thanks for the video. I found WD40 to be the best at removing the glue from the old ribbon
Nice video! I was having extruder issues and have replaced my ribbon cables before. Seems like it's my extruder motor binding this time around.
Thank you! Ahh yeah, the ribbon cables look super pleasing but at the same time, they're very finicky
thank you for this video! Very helpfull.
can you tell me what type and brand of the extruder board connections?

@@jarodmica thank you very much for the suggestion ! I will try this and let you know 😉
Nice, same problem with my artillery genius, I will try your solution :-)
Thanks!
can you show how to do a extruder switch
Could you explain a little more? What function are you referring to when you say extruder switch? Is it the little filament sensor up top?
@@jarodmica sorry about the wait, the nozle
@@treyvon8358 Like changing nozzle sizes or changing the extruder end? I'm still unsure of what function you'd like me to show for replacing
@@jarodmica the part where the filament comes out.
@@jarodmica gold looking piece
That didn’t sound normal. Mine is virtually silent.
Your sidewinder when running is silent? Thats pretty nice
@@jarodmica Yeah, that extruder motor doesn't sound right. Maybe the screws on the left that tight the extruder wheel are too tight.
