12.1 Out of filament
This one is pretty obvious, but before checking the other issues, first verify
that you still have filament leading into the nozzle. If the spool has run out, you

12.2 The filament has stripped against the drive gear
During a print, the extruder motor is constantly spinning trying to push the
filament into the nozzle so that your printer can keep extruding plastic. If you try
to print too quickly or you try to extrude too much plastic, this motor may end up
grinding away the filament until there is nothing left for the drive gear to grab onto.
If your extruder motor is spinning, but the filament is not moving, then this is likely
the cause. Please see the Grinding Filament section for more details on how to
resolve the issue.
