Micro Gear Motor Issues

[sbates13]

The pen I got worked fine for the first few hours, now the micro gear motor on it seems to be failing. It seems that when trying to pull filament toward the nozzle the gears don’t “catch”, works fine when going in reverse. If I physically move the gears closer together they function properly, but without that they naturally move further apart and the teeth don’t catch on to each other. Is there a way to get a new motor? Or get the gears to stop shifting away from each other?

@sbates13 probably way to late for you now, but for anyone else coming across this, this might help? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4078267
