Clogged Filament Guide TubeIssue: During filament change, the filament cannot pass through the filament guide tube. |
|
No Filament Extruded on the First Layer or Nozzle Scrapes the Build PlateCause: The nozzle is too close to the print bed. Solution: Re-level the bed. |
|
Model Not Sticking to the Build PlateCauses:
|
|
No Filament Extruded During Filament LoadingIssue: During filament loading, there is no filament extrusion or filament cannot be fed downward into the print head. |
|
Clogged ExtruderIssue: No filament is extruded during printing or filament change. A creaking sound is produced when manually loading filament. |
|
Under-extrusion During PrintingCauses:
Solutions:
|
|
Layer Lines on 3D PrintsCause: Z-axis movement is not smooth. |
|
Ghosting & RingingCause: Insufficient belt tension. |
|
StringingCauses:
Solutions:
|
|
After Auto-leveling the Extruder Is Too Far Away from the Bed when Printing the First Layer.Cause: Filament residues at the nozzle tip or uncleared print bed. Solutions:
|
|
When Preheating the Extruder It Doesn't Heat up or the Temperature Displays as a Negative ValueCause:Firmware communication failure; Nozzle damaged or extruder cable in poor contact. |
|
Touchscreen is not ResponsiveCause:Firmware communication failure. Solutions:
|
|
Bed Not Heating During PreheatingCause: Poor cable connection or faulty bed heating assembly. |
|
Printer Stops Mid-PrintCause: Abnormal firmware; this issue is optimized in the latest beta firmware. Solutions:
|
|
Both the Nozzle Temperature and Bed Temperature Displays as 0Cause: Extruder connection cable in poor contact or extruder board damaged, resulting in communication interruption between the motherboard and the extruder. |
|
Host Error, please Restart!Cause: Several abnormalities reported by the printer leading to communication errors. Solutions:
|
|
Level Probe Can Not Clear. Please Check the Level ProbeCauses:Values of the pressure sensors on the bottom of the bed can not be cleared. |
