    Why does my Z Corporation 3D Printer say 'Head x temperature too high'?
    • K
      Katelyn DouglasAug 20, 2025
      If your Z Corporation 3D printer displays the error 'Head x temperature too high', several factors could be responsible. First, verify the expiration date of the materials. Clean the print head contacts and Pogo Pins, then reinsert the print heads. If the issue persists, the print head may be old or defective and need replacement. Check the binder flow rate against the reference document. A worn service station wiper should be replaced with a 30011 Service Station Wiper. Ensure the parking spittoon is clean, and the air vent isn't clogged. Finally, troubleshoot the float switch and add binder if the printer is out of binder.

    What to do if Z Corporation 3D Printer displays 'Head x fire voltage failed'?
    • C
      Catherine GutierrezAug 22, 2025
      If your Z Corporation 3D printer shows the error 'Head x fire voltage failed', there are several possible causes. Start by cleaning the print head contacts and Pogo Pins, then reinsert the print heads. If the issue continues, the HP11 Print Head may be old or defective and require replacement. Another potential cause is a bad carriage cable, which would necessitate replacing the 50080 Pogo Flex Cable. Additionally, a bad Pogo PCB or a bad festoon cable assembly could be the problem, requiring replacement of the 50019 Pogo PCB or the 50108 Festoon Cable Assembly, respectively. In some cases, a failed PC104+ PCB may be the cause, needing replacement of the 50016 PC104+ PCB.

    How do I resolve 'AUTOALIGN: can't pick reference head' on Z Corporation ZPrinter 650?
    • D
      David JonesAug 31, 2025
      If your Z Corporation 3D printer shows 'AUTOALIGN: can't pick reference head', first ensure the sensor window is clean, and then retry. If the problem continues, perform a fill bed to ensure the build bed is flat. Check for a dirty sensor on the Pogo or oil in the carriage; clean the sensor on the Pogo with alcohol and clean inside the carriage, then retry. Make sure the Pogo Card is correctly aligned and the sensor is snapped in; realign the pogo card if necessary. If problems persist, consider replacing the 50019 Pogo PCB or the 50080 Pogo Flex Cable, as a bad Pogo PCB or carriage cable can cause this issue. A failed PC104+ may also be the cause, needing replacement of the 50016 PC104+ PCB.
