I have a problem with extrude motor.
when the extruder reaches 200 degrees, I go to manual control to test the extrude tab. the motor is working but there is a clicking sound and is unable to turn the gears.
when I use my finger to turn the gears there is no stiffness and the filament moves back and forth through the extruder arm very well.
could this be a faulty motor?

Hi Nick, BigGrin

I`ve just checked in the official build and was wondering if you set the gears for the extruder motor as per stage 53, with the piece of paper to give the correct gap between the gears.
