i have changed the extruder since the last one failed and now all my prints fails on the left side only.

More tension on the extruder would be my guess.
Also make sure you include orbiter-1004.cfg
tough vine
its at max

its at max
then less tension lol

You don't want max tension, you want just enough to properly grip and nothing more
Max tension = motor can't turn, min tension = gear won't grip

when i load new fialment i turn it all the way then back a half turn

That's not how you do it
If you want to get the perfect tension, you tension it lightly, then start a flow rate test, then when it starts skipping pause it, then give it a quarter turn more (more tension), resume and see if that helps, if it still skips, try a quarter turn less (so turn it halfway), until you arrive at the perfect spot.
You don't want no tension or all the tension you want to be somewhere in the middle.

ok no one has ever told me that, thats really cool. ok ill start doing that from now on. do you have a good flow test you use?

I find the one built into OrcaSlicer is decent

ok ill take a look thanks

it looks like the issue it still else where, now my orbiter is making a buzzing noise when i hit the extrude button.

That's weird. You can try to swap the drivers between like E and X or something.
If that's still what you suspect

If that's still what you suspect
yeah ill swap them out shortly

installed a new driver and still the same issue
i think my board hurts

I don't. I still think this is wiring.

Before you do that
Try swapping the two middle pins
The buzzing is usually a sign that the two coils are fighting eachother (reverse polarity on one coil)
If that doesn't work, swap it back and redo it.
livid skiff
ok ill dothe wiring again
forgot to reply
tough vine
forgot to reply
m,iddle pins swapped

m,iddle pins swapped
Aight, fair enough, swap back and redo i guess

as always you were correct sir, it was wiring
not sure what pin exactly but i made a new harness and its going smooth no chuffing
the old extruder that dies must have damged the pins on the extension cable i made for it
so new orbiter and new extensiopn cable, and were going
