Have you tried a different motor connected to that motor output on the Duet, or that motor connected to a different motor output, in case the problem is a faulty driver?
-
Maybe also try 16X micro stepping instead of 64X (but don't forget to divide your steps per mm by 4)? Dunno - just a long shot.
-
That motor requires a really high current to get it to move. Try between 1200 - 1400ma, going off of memory.
Here's the E3D thread for it. https://forum.e3d-online.com/index.php?threads/nema17-slimline-rated-current.2720/
I ran it at 1200, but didn't care for it as the connector could come loose. It never popped off while printing, but was well on its way there a couple times, and I didn't want it to pop loose and kill a driver.
-
no good, any there suggestions?
is there a way I can skip E0 and use E1?

Yes, put M584 E4 in your config.g file, earlier than the M906 command.

Probably not helpful, but if that E3D motor is a lot of trouble consider this one https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/hybrid-stepper-motor/nema-17-bipolar-18deg-13ncm-184ozin-1a-35v-42x42x20mm-4-wires-17hs08-1004s.html instead it's only $6.60, its 13 Ncm but smaller size and I drive it at 650mA with titan extruders, yes its 1.8 degrees but running a geared extruder 0.9 degrees is overkill plus needs to be bigger to achieve the same torque (and apparently uses more than double the current!).
-
Hello Sharpie, I run it at 900ma with x16 microstepping and seems to perform well.
This is how it came wired:
Are you testing it alone or already assembled with the extruder? Maybe the gears are not aligned and that's why it stalls.
Long shot, but worth asking.Hope it helps.

It turned out to be a bad driver on the motherboard, when I plugged into E1 the moved as expected =(
But at least we are online.

If you've had your Duet for less than six months, ask your supplier to repair the board (replace the short driver) under warranty.
