SandervG 946 Posted January 18, 2017 in Extruder turns the wrong direction Ha @Koenie, welcome to the forums. It looks like you have probably installed a firmware which was not meant for your Ultimaker model. Depending on what Ultimaker you have, your feeder can have a geared feeder (or not). A gear makes your feeder more powerful, but it also 'reverses' the motion. In the firmware this means that, if your feeder has a gear, we have to have the feeder run backwards, and the gear will convert this in a forward motion. I would recommend to double check what firmware you need, which fits your Ultimaker, and install that on your machine. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ultiarjan 1,076 Posted January 18, 2017 in Extruder turns the wrong direction Just to be extra clear, the Ultimaker2+ (has the big white feeder) is geared, and the Ultimaker2 (small black feeder) is not geared, so you probably mixed up these two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koenie 1 Posted January 18, 2017 in Extruder turns the wrong direction i have a ultimaker 2 with the small black feeder, this means that it is not geared. i also have version 14.12.1. i update the firmware to marlin ultimaker 2.hex. and it still moves the wrong way. someone a other solution?

ultiarjan 1,076 Posted January 18, 2017 in Extruder turns the wrong direction How did you update, did you install the latest CURA (2.3.1), install the correct printer, and then do an update from there? if not try that again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koenie 1 Posted January 21, 2017 in Extruder turns the wrong direction I find out what the problem was........ after install a new firmware its still going the wrong way, suddendly i have a clear moment... the feeder can also attached the other way. so i turn it 180 degrees (mirroring) and its doing great i've attached the feeder just the wrong way!!! very stupid of me.. Thank you for thinking with me [ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
