Frequently Asked Questions
not over 120℃, and you can close the bed above 100mm except printing ABS
or other high-temperature required filaments.
3. The model not stick on the platform ?
Please paste masking paper or Kapton tape on the platform, or the nozzle is
too far away from the platform, or the bottom of the model is not leveled.
4. No or less silk coming on the first layer ?
The distance between nozzle and platform is too small, or the filament has not
been sent to the nozzle.
5. Why nozzle is not spit silk ?
The filament is not pressed or too tight, or print temperature is too low, or the
filament feeder not working.
6. How to prevent model become warped ?
Increase hot bed temperature or use Kapton, or change platform adhesion
type to Raft, or cover the baffle, or reduce indoor ventilation.
7. How far from nozzle to platform appropriate ?
Distance should be 0 in theory, but there is no absolutely flat platform, so the
distance should +-0.1mm. Finally, with the actual printing effect as the
standard, too close will lead to a silk blocked, too far will cause the model not
stick on the platform.
8. How to determine whether the temperature is too high ?
PLA temperature is too high will appear liquefaction, ABS will be the carbide,
that will block the nozzle.
9. What reasons will causing nozzle blocked ?
Filament are impurities or print environment dust too much, bad of thermal
conductivity between the nozzle and the heating block.
10. Model surface is loose with crack ?
The layer is too high or the printing speed too fast, nozzle temperature too
low or filament press nut too loose, or filament is blocked.
11. How to print a small model ?
Multiple the model, and print them at a time.
12. Dual color model not aligned ?
Adjust offset of second nozzle in machine settings.
13. Dual color model color interference ?
Align two nozzle in vertical direction
14. There is too much silk drag on the model ?
Please enable filament retraction, and specified proper retract speed, and
distance, the retract distance should not less than 2mm, and the speed not
less than 30mm/s.
Printing Troubleshoot
Frequently Asked Questions
Hardware Troubleshoot
1. Display "MINTEMP" ?
The environment is too low, or temperature sensor is damaged, please keep
the room temperature above 0 ℃ .
2. Display "MAXTEMP" ?
Temperature of nozzle or bed too high, or temperature sensor is damaged,
please keep their temperature in a suitable range.
3. USB connection problems ?
Please specify the correct port and baud rate (250000), or change a shorter
USB cable.
4. Nozzle heats up too slowly ?
Temperature in door is too low, or use a fan duct, or turn up output voltage
(24.5v).
5. Print head stuck ?
Clean the guide rail and add lubricating oil.
6. Print head can not move ?
Stepper motor chipset burned, or belt damaged, or belt wheel screw loose.
7. Print head hit the framework ?
Corresponding axis stop limit or circuit fault.
8. Unable to power on ?
Power switch is damaged or fuse is burned, and please check whether the
power adapter is working properly or power check board is damaged.
Printing Troubleshoot
1. How to set the temperature of the nozzle ?
Different filament temperature is different, general as follows:
PLA temperature 190 ℃ ~210℃,bed 45-60 ℃
ABS temperature 230℃ ~250 ℃ ,bed 80-100 ℃
You must leave enough time for filament heating, so the faster printing speed
need the higher temperature, 60mm/s temperature need raise about 10℃. In
the same way, larger thickness need higher temperature.
2. How to set the temperature of the hot bed ?
The main purpose of the hot bed is to prevent model wrapped, PLA need
about 45℃ and 70℃ for ABS is enough, but due to the environment and
filament, we often need to increase the temperature, the highest temperature
not over 120℃, and you can close the bed above 100mm.
