Backlash problem about step motors

This motor is also part of the plastic extruder for a 3D printer. It might run a little warm because of proximity to the heater for the extrusion nozzle. If there is any reverse rotoation at the end of the cycle it maight be part of the process for the extruder. By reversing the motor slightly the pressure is taken off the plastic going into the extruder and then the nozzle doesn't drip.
