Summary

Not Extruding at Start of Print Troubleshooting

Filament Not Loaded Before Printing

Ensures filament is primed in the extruder before starting a print to avoid delayed extrusion.

Nozzle Too Close to Bed

Adjusting bed height to ensure proper filament extrusion clearance for the first layer.

Filament Stripped by Drive Gear

Addresses filament slippage on the drive gear, preventing proper feeding and extrusion.

Clogged Extruder Nozzle

Resolves issues where debris or softened plastic blocks the extruder nozzle.

Print Not Sticking to the Bed Solutions

Build Platform Not Level

Verifies and corrects bed leveling for consistent first layer adhesion.

Nozzle Too Far From Bed

Adjusts nozzle height for optimal filament adhesion to the build platform.

First Layer Printing Too Fast

Slows down the first layer printing speed to improve bed adhesion.

Temperature or Cooling Settings

Optimizes print and bed temperatures, and cooling fan usage for layer adhesion.

Build Platform Adhesion Aids

Utilizes tape, glues, or other materials to enhance build platform adhesion.

Brims and Rafts for Adhesion

Uses software features like brims and rafts to increase surface area for bed adhesion.

Not Extruding Enough Plastic Issues

Incorrect Filament Diameter Setting

Ensures the software's filament diameter setting matches the actual filament.

Adjusting Extrusion Speed

Modifies extrusion speed (flow rate) to correct under-extrusion problems.

Extruding Too Much Plastic

Holes and Gaps in Top Layers

Insufficient Top Solid Layers

Increases the number of solid top layers to create a complete surface.

Low Infill Percentage

Increases infill density to provide better support for top layers.

Under-extrusion Causing Gaps

Addresses under-extrusion as a cause for gaps in top surfaces.

Stringing or Oozing Troubleshooting

Retraction Distance Adjustment

Optimizes retraction distance to minimize filament ooze during travel moves.

Retraction Speed Settings

Fine-tunes retraction speed to prevent filament separation or grinding.

High Extruder Temperature

Reduces extruder temperature to decrease plastic viscosity and oozing.

Overheating Print Quality Issues

Insufficient Cooling

Increases cooling fan speed or duration to help plastic solidify properly.

Print Temperature Too High

Lowers the print temperature to allow plastic to solidify faster.

Printing Speed Too Fast

Reduces print speed, especially for small layers, to allow adequate cooling time.

Printing Multiple Parts Simultaneously

Prints multiple objects to increase cooling time between layers for individual parts.

Layer Shifting or Misalignment

Nozzle Movement Too Fast

Reduces print speed to prevent motors from skipping steps and causing misalignment.

Mechanical or Electrical Issues

Checks belt tension, pulley set-screws, and electrical connections for alignment problems.

Layer Separation and Splitting

Layer Height Too Large

Reduces layer height to ensure proper bonding between successive layers.

Print Temperature Too Low

Increases print temperature to improve plastic fusion and layer adhesion.

Grinding Filament Troubleshooting

Increase Extruder Temperature

Raises extruder temperature to improve plastic flow and reduce grinding.

Reduce Print Speed

Slows print speed to reduce stress on the extruder motor and filament.

Check for Nozzle Clog

Identifies and resolves partial nozzle clogs that can cause filament grinding.

Clogged Extruder Solutions

Manually Push Filament

Applies manual force to push filament through the extruder during operation.

Reload the Filament

Unloads and reloads filament, cutting away damaged sections.

Clean Out the Nozzle

Removes debris from the nozzle using tools or heat.

Stops Extruding in Middle of Print

Out of Filament Check

Verifies if the filament spool has run out.

Filament Stripped by Drive Gear

Diagnoses filament grinding by the drive gear preventing extrusion.

Extruder Clogged During Print

Addresses clogs that occur mid-print, checking filament cleanliness.

Overheated Extruder Motor Driver

Identifies overheating of the extruder motor driver causing it to stop.

Weak Infill Problems

Increase Infill Density

Increases the infill density to improve part strength and support.

Lower Print Speed for Infill

Reduces infill print speed to prevent under-extrusion and weak infill.

Curling or Rough Corners

Scars on Top Surface

Extruding Too Much Plastic

Checks for over-extrusion which can cause thicker layers and drag marks.

Holes and Gaps in Floor Corners

Insufficient Perimeters

Adds more outline perimeters to strengthen the part's foundation.

Not Enough Top Solid Layers

Increases top solid layers to support structures printed above.

Infill Density Too Low

Increases infill density to provide adequate support for top layers.

Lines on the Side of Print

Inconsistent Extrusion Quality

Addresses variations in filament diameter or quality causing uneven extrusion.

Temperature Variation Fluctuations

Calibrates thermistor for stable extruder temperature to ensure consistent extrusion.

Mechanical Alignment Issues

Checks for mechanical problems like bed wobble or Z-axis rod alignment affecting layer consistency.

Vibrations and Ringing

Print Speed Too Fast

Reduces print speed to minimize vibrations caused by sudden direction changes.

Firmware Acceleration Settings

Adjusts firmware acceleration to smooth out speed changes and reduce ringing.

Mechanical Vibration Sources

Investigates mechanical issues like loose screws or brackets causing printer vibrations.

Very Small Features Not Being Printed

Redesign Parts with Thicker Features

Modifies 3D models to ensure features are larger than the nozzle diameter.

Install Smaller Nozzle Tip

Replaces the nozzle with a smaller diameter tip for printing fine details.

Force Software to Print Small Features

Adjusts software settings to attempt printing small features, monitoring quality.

Inconsistent Extrusion Diagnosis

Filament Stuck or Tangled

Checks the filament spool for tangles or resistance hindering smooth unwinding.

Clogged Extruder Nozzle

Inspects the nozzle for debris that may cause uneven plastic extrusion.

Very Low Layer Height

Ensures layer height is appropriate for nozzle size to allow smooth extrusion.

Poor Quality Filament

Tests new filament to rule out inconsistencies or degradation affecting extrusion.

Mechanical Extruder Issues

Examines extruder drive gear tension and function for consistent filament control.
