How to fix defects in printing object with Renkforce 3D Printers?
- A
  andersondavidAug 21, 2025
  To resolve defects in your printed object with your Renkforce 3D Printer: * Check the nozzle temperature settings to ensure they match the filament material. * Only start printing when the nozzle has reached the correct temperature. * Reduce the distance between the build bed and the nozzle. * Avoid using other programs requiring high computing power while printing from a PC. Try printing from the SD card to rule out USB connection issues. * Remove any excessive filament on the nozzle before each print.

What to do if the filament supply breaks on Renkforce 3D Printers?
- L
  lisawoodAug 30, 2025
  If the filament supply breaks off or there is not enough filament material supplied to your Renkforce 3D Printer, check the filament spool to ensure it turns easily. Also, check whether the filament is trapped between the spool and the extruder, ensure the filament is properly inserted through the filament tube, verify that the nozzle temperature is adequate for the filament material, and inspect the nozzle for clogs, cleaning it if necessary.
