I have a Ender 5 pro for a few years and have been happy with it mostly.
A month ago, during a print, I noticed the extruder was not extruding. My first thought was that the hot end was clogged. I removed the unit and cleaned it. I installed a new nozzle. I started a print and the same thing happened. I then tested the extruder by setting the hot end temp to 200C and then tried to move the extruder 1mm at a time, nothing happened, the extruder did not move any filament. I thought that maybe the stepper motor or the wires were bad. I hooked up everything to new wires and stepper, repeated the process, nothing. I then ordered a new board and flashed it for this machine. It ran a couple of prints and now it’s back to the same issue.
I cannot figure this out. Has anyone had a similar issue? Any fixes?
Thanks
