th
step
• Increase the extruder flow rate to about 30RPM and check it runs without stalling the motor.
• If the motor stalls the most likely cause is the pressure bearings are too tight – undo until
the motor does not stall but the filament is still being extruded.
• If the filament does not flow tighten the bolt slowly until the filament starts to be extruded.
