Common Failures or Issues

Causes

Solutions

No Filament Extruded

-Filament issue (depleted, entangled, broken, unclean).

-Nozzle clogged.

-Gcode file issue.

Initial Layer Not Sticky

-PEI plate is stained with dust and grease.

-Abnormal auto-leveling.

-Incorrect Z offset value.

-Printing overspeed.

-Low temperature of the nozzle and hot bed.

Flowing or Falling

-The filament is wet, resulting in poor print quality.

-The E-axis retraction distance is short or the retraction speed is slow.

-The printing temperature is too high, causing the filament to flow and fall due to gravity during idle driving.

-The floating distance is too long, causing the filament to fall due to gravity.

-The nozzle is worn.

Layers Dislocation

-The acceleration and jerk speed parameters are set beyond the optimal printing range.

-Caused by mechanical movement during printing process.

-The small-angle suspended surface structure of the print model is not conducive to high-speed printing, resulting in layers dislocation.

Nozzle Jams

-Unclean filament and dust cause nozzle jams.

-Unsuccessful printing causes nozzle jams.

Spaghetti Effect

-Filament entangled.

-The initial layer of the print model is not sticky.

-Partial warping of the print model causes the collision of the nozzle and movement of the print model.
