Why is PLA not extruding or sticking to the build tape properly in my Dremel 3D Printers?
- P
  Paul RichardAug 19, 2025
  If the PLA isn't extruding or sticking properly to the build tape on your Dremel 3D Printers, it's likely that the build platform isn't leveled with the extruder head. To fix this, cancel the print, clear the build platform, level the build platform, and then restart the print. Leveling the build platform will align the extruder head and ensure a better object quality.

Why will my Dremel 3D40-EDU 3D40 not connect to my network?
- N
  Nicole HarperAug 21, 2025
  If your Dremel 3D40 won't connect to your network, there could be a couple of reasons. First, the printer might be too far from the wireless router, so try repositioning the 3D40 closer to your router. Second, the network password might be incorrect, so re-enter your password or verify it with your network owner.

How to fix a spaghetti mess at the end of a Dremel 3D40-EDU 3D Printers build?
- J
  Joseph HodgesAug 23, 2025
  If you encounter a spaghetti mess at the end of a Dremel 3D Printers build, it could be due to a few reasons: a layer of your object didn't stick properly, the model was saved with minimal surface area contacting the build platform, or the object was built floating above the build platform without any support selected. To address this, use the preview feature in Print Studio to check the first layer height and position, and ensure you build with supports when necessary.

How to prevent stringy or fraying plastic layers on steep overhangs with Dremel 3D40-EDU 3D Printers?
- V
  vgarciaAug 26, 2025
  If you notice stringy or fraying plastic layers on steep overhangs with your Dremel 3D Printers, it's likely that the object overhangs are too far apart or too steep (less than a 45-degree angle). To resolve this, build with supports.

What to do if my Dremel 3D40-EDU part only built halfway?
- C
  Cassandra RodriguezAug 28, 2025
  If your Dremel 3D Printers part only built halfway, it could be due to a couple of reasons: the filament ran out, or the filament clogged during the build. Replace the filament and resume the build. For a clogged filament, refer to the section on ‘No filament coming out’.

Why will my Dremel 3D40-EDU 3D Printers 3D40 not retrieve a token?
- J
  justinjarvisSep 4, 2025
  If your Dremel 3D40 will not retrieve a token, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The network password might be incorrect, so re-enter your password or verify it with your network owner. Alternatively, your network might have a firewall, in which case you should enter the network proxy information.

How to recalibrate the extruder head on Dremel 3D40-EDU 3D Printers 3D40 if it's building off center?
- J
  Joshua SmithSep 8, 2025
  If the extruder head is building off-center with your Dremel 3D40 printer, it means the printer has lost track of the extruder head’s exact location and is failing to build correctly. To fix this, cancel the current object, clear the build platform, send the extruder head to the home position to recalibrate, and then restart the object.
