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 lament 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 lament
to ow and fall due to gravity
during idle driving.
• The oating distance is too
long, causing the lament 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 lament and dust
cause nozzle jams.
• Unsuccessful printing causes

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.
