Frequently Asked Questions

not over 120℃, and you can close the bed above 100mm.

3. The model not stick on the platform ?

Please

 

paste

 

masking

 

paper

 

or

 

Kapton

 

on

 

the

 

platform

or

 

the

 

nozzle

 

is

 

too

 

far

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

platform, or the bottom of the model is not flat.

4

No

 

or

 

less

 

silk

 

coming

 

on

 

the

 

first

 

layer

 ?

The

 

distance

 

between

 

nozzle

 

and

 

platform

 

is

 

too

 

small

or

 

the

 

filament

 

has

 

not

 

been

 

sent

 

to

 

the

 

nozzle

.

5. Why nozzle is not spit silk ?

The

 

filament

 

is

 

not pressed or too tight, or print temperature is too low, or the 

filament feeder not working.

6

How

 

to

 

prevent

 

model

 

become

 

warped

 ?

Increase hot bed temperature or use Kapton, or change platform adhesion 
type to Raft, or cover the baffle, or reduce indoor ventilation.

7

How

 

far

 

from

 

nozzle to platform appropriate ?

Distance

 

should

 

be

 

0

 

in

 

theory

but

 

there

 

is

 

no absolute flat platform, so the 

distance -0.1mm. Finally, with the actual printing effect as the 
standard, too close will lead to a silk blocked, too far will cause the model not 
stick on the platform.

8

How

 

to

 

determine

 

whether

 

the

 

temperature

 is too high ?

PLA

 

temperature

 

is

 

too high will appear liquefaction

ABS

  

will

 

be

 

the

 

carbide

that

 

will

 

block

 

the

 

nozzle

.

9

What

 

reasons

 

will

 

causing

 

nozzle

 

blocked

 ?

Filament are impurities or print environment dust too much, bad of thermal 
conductivity between the nozzle and the heating block. 

10

Model

 

surface

 

is

 

loose

 

with

 

crack

 ?

The

 

layer

 

is

 

too

 

high

 

or

 

the

 

printing

 

speed too fast, nozzle temperature too 

low or filament press nut too loose, or filament is wrapped.

11

How

 

to

 

print

 

a

 

small

 

model

 ?

Multiple

 

the

 

model

and

 

print them at a time.

12

Dual

 

color

 

model

 

not

 

aligned

 ?

Adjust

 

offset

 

of

 

second

 

nozzle

 

in

 

machine

 

settings

.

interference

 ?

Align two nozzle in vertical direction

14

There

 

is

 

too

 

much

 

silk

 

drag

 

on

 

the

 

model

 ?

Please

 

enable

 

filament retraction,  and specified proper retract speed, and 

distance, the retract distance should not less than 4mm, and the speed not 
less than 10mm/s.
