What to do if PLA is not extruding or sticking to the build tape properly with Dremel 3D Printers?
- D
  David BrownAug 14, 2025
  If the PLA isn't extruding or sticking properly to the build tape on your Dremel 3D Printers, the build platform might not be leveled with the extruder head. Leveling the build platform will align the extruder head and help ensure better object quality. Cancel your current print, clear the build platform, level the build platform, and then restart the print.

How to fix extruder head building off center on Dremel 3D20?

  Joe MillerAug 17, 2025
  If the extruder head on your Dremel 3D20 is building off-center, it means the printer has lost track of the extruder head’s exact location and is failing to build correctly. To fix this, cancel your current object, clear the build platform, send the extruder head to the home position to recalibrate, and then restart the object.

Why does my Dremel Idea Builder 3D20-01 create a spaghetti mess at the end of the build?
- J
  Julie OrtizAug 25, 2025
  If your Dremel 3D printer shows a 'spaghetti mess' at the end of a build, it's likely because 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 without supports. To fix this, use the preview feature in Dremel 3D to check the first layer's height and position. Also, ensure you build with supports when necessary.

What to do if Dremel 3D20 froze before my object started?

  If your Dremel 3D20 froze before your object started, it may have received conflicting commands. To resolve this, turn the power switch off, wait 30 seconds, and then turn the power switch back on.

Why are there stringy or fraying plastic layers on steep overhangs with Dremel Idea Builder 3D20-01 3D Printers?
- D
  Diana HarrellAug 30, 2025
  If you see stringy or fraying plastic layers on steep overhangs when using Dremel 3D Printers, it's because the object overhangs are too far apart or too steep (less than a 45-degree angle). Building with supports will solve this issue.

Why did my Dremel Idea Builder 3D20-01 part only built halfway?
- J
  Justin ZamoraSep 6, 2025
  If your Dremel 3D printer part only built halfway, it could be due to two reasons: either the filament ran out, or the filament clogged during the build. Replace the filament and start the build over. If it is clogged, refer to the 'No filament coming out' solution.

What does it mean if a 3D file loads with a warning stating that the file is not closed in Dremel 3D Printers?
- L
  lopezjamesSep 9, 2025
  If a 3D file loads with a warning stating that the file is not closed within Dremel 3D Printers, it means the 3D file has not been properly designed and has open surfaces. Open the 3D file in CAD editing software to close all the open surfaces.
