10.1.1 Printing Problems
Clicking sound from one of the stepper motors
One of your stepper motors may not be connected properly. Check each connection and then
inspect the cable routing for any faults
File not printing
Remove the Micro SD Card and insert into your Computer. Open the GCODE le using a text editor
(eg. Notepad), and inspect if GCODE is readable or not. If le consists of multiple ‘ÿÿÿÿ’ symbol,
then le has been corrupted. Try reformatting your Micro SD Card and reloading the GCODE le.
NOTE: Reformatting will delete all les on your SD card
