Filament is not feeding through

I just finished building my Mini+. 

The problem I'm having, is that the filament is not feeding through. I have a Filament Sensor, and it seems to be properly installed (the printer passes all the diagnostics).

I am trying to do the initial calibration. After the tests pass, I move on to the Calibration. I have a filament inserted, and I am asked if I want to calibrate with the currently loaded filament, if I choose to continue, the Y axis moves into position, then the head starts moving, I also get a message to use the knob to adjust the nozzle height, if needed, once the printer starts extruding plastic.

But, this last part never happens, as in the filament never advances, and no plastic is extruded. The Y axis and print head keep on moving in a pattern as if rectangles are drawn, but no plastic is extruded.

I also tried unloading the filament and restarting. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

Here are the pictures:

After a few tries, this worked, but it was a real pain to get it going.
