Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro W Extruder Skipping

Post by berlinpose2 » Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:23 pm

SO I recently finished assembling my Geeetech Prusa I3 Pro W. I am not new to 3d printing so I generally know how to do things and trouble shoot but this one has got me stumped. I am trying to feed the filament in for the first time for my first print but the extruder motor is skipping pretty badly. I initial thought it was a tension thing so I kept loosening it until the tension screw was out but it was still skipping. I had the nozzle heated up to 200C then up to 240C just to see if that was the issue and it wasn't. The nozzle hasn't had any filament in it as it is a new printer. I saw some people on the internet saying stuff about the wires being bad or the extuder being under voltage. I'll try checking that later. Has anyone else had this issue that has solved it?https://9apps.ooo/
