Selector goes all the way left and motor deoesnt stop.

havent had a successful load yet, first try.

When I use the "Load Filament (any number)" the selector goes all teh way to the left and the motor keeps trying to turn, with the red light flashing.

moved it up two full turns. also I've removed the blade to see if maybe something is keeping it from (thinking) it's all the way left.

no love.

this might be a silly question but is the plastic that rides the screw drive screwed in?

IT WAS WORTH A SHOT! I tightened them more, but still. nothing.

Re: Selector goes all the way left and motor deoesnt stop.

how many times does it hit the left?

and if you turn off the printer can you move the selector fully?

Re: Selector goes all the way left and motor deoesnt stop.

and if your just getting started with it. what I would do if I had to do it again.... print a small print from each filament path, before getting fancy. I have some small prints setup in mmu single format, so it asks what filament I want to test.
