Hello, As I mentioned elsewhere I have a Creality Ender 3 modified with a MKS Gen L 1.0 board. It's running Marlin 1.1.x. I have printed with this setup fine. Yesterday I got my BLTouch sensor.

I was able to reproduce it with the MKS Gen L!. So I did some investigation and discovered that putting pressure on the female connector for the extruder "axis" where it connects to the board can cause the extrude stepper not to work or if delicately pressed, it works fine. The original pi...
