TROUBLESHOOTING
Q1: The print will not stick to the build plate.
A1: This is caused by an improperly leveled build plate. Perform the steps in the
LEVELING
THE BUILD PLATE section.
Q2: The material feed mechanism ticks while loading new material.
A2: As long as material is being extruded at a normal rate, this is normal. The feed
mechanism is designed to tick backwards, rather than grinding the material.
Q3: Insufficient material is extruded out of the nozzle.
A3: This could be due to a partial blockage due to burned material. Attempt to clear the
blockage by raising the nozzle temperature to 260°C and try printing. If the blockage is
removed, continue printing at 260°C for at least 10 minutes.
Q4: Printing at 260°C does not clear the partial blockage or filament material will not
extrude at all.
A4: A foreign object larger than 0.4mm may be blocking the nozzle. Clean or replace the
nozzle.
Q5: Filament material will not extrude or extrudes too slowly during printing, but flows
normally when the extruder is not close to the build plate.
A5: The build plate is too close to the nozzle. Perform the steps in the LEVELING THE
BUILD PLATE section.
