I have the 1.5XT with the dual extruders and recently extruder one stopped working. The motor powers on and then if I send it a command via Simplify3D or using the LCD control it will only rotate a few degrees back and forth. This is with no filament and pressure relieved from the idler bearing.
I have tried adjusting the potentiometer and even swapped out the driver with the extra one supplied with no change.
I then wondered if it was the motor itself burned out or something so I swapped connections at the extruder motors so that Motor 2 was connected in the Motor 1 location. Motor 2 then operated with the same issue and motor 1 was working correctly. I even had an extra RAMPs and Arduino Mega I swapped out and the problem still persists.
The only thing I can image at this point is something to do with my cable so I ordered some components to build my own to test this and for future expansion. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
