Hello, I'm looking for some help with my newly installed Creality Sprite Pro. I spent a few hours yesterday getting it installed onto my Ender 3 and getting my Klipper configs all up to date but for whatever reason once i moved on to setting my E Steps i noticed the printer would not extrude filament. I reseated the extruder connectors on both the main board and the daughter board on the back side of the print head as well but same issue.

One thing I've noticed with it though is that with the steppers turned off i can move the feed gear just fine, but once i turn them back on the gear holds in place to indicate that it is receiving some type of power or command but still not feeding.

Any ideas?

Hmmm try connecting the extruder motor wire to another movement motor (x, y or z) and running the extrusion to see if the movement motor moves. You could also connect a movement motor wire to the extruder motor and see if it extruded then

So i think the gears might have been jammed something? Now the motor is turning perfectly fine in the correct plug. Must have just shipped that way from the factory i suppose. Thanks so much for the help!

No worries. Glad you were able to solve it :)

Ok so i swapped the extruder connection to the Z stepper one and it did spin! So the motor's not bad or the connection. Swapped it back to the extruder socket and nothing. So maybe its something in the Klipper config for the extruder?
