Your part may need supports. If it’s rounded you may need to select “Everywhere” for the
support type. If it’s intricate, it may need to select “Raft” for the Platform adhesion type. A raft is a
hatch pattern on the build plate that the model will print on. If the part warps when you begin to build
it, you may need to select “Brim” Adhesion support type and reslice the file. (A brim will help the part
stick so it doesn’t curl up at the edges.)
3. Mechanical problem: Leveling the build plate
Many of the failures in 3D printing are caused by a build plate that is not level or is not the correct
distance from the nozzle. See the section “Leveling the Build Plate” in this manual.
4. Mechanical problem: Filament is not coming out of the
Nozzle
When filament is not coming out of the nozzle, the nozzle may be clogged. You have several options
for clearing a clogged nozzle.

You can pull the clog backward out of the nozzle using the “soft pull” method.

You can “floss” the clog out of the nozzle using a nozzle cleaner while the nozzle is heated.

You can heat the nozzle and push the clog through the nozzle.
This video explain how to unclog a nozzle
NOTE: Never leave your printer nozzle at build temperature (220°C) while the printer is idle.
The melted plastic remaining in the nozzle will “bake” onto the nozzle and become a hard
carbon blockage.

Try to pull the clog out of the nozzle using the “soft pull” method:
● Turn the machine on, select Prepare PLA, and wait until the temperature
NOTE: Every time you change filament on your 3D printer, remove the filament with the
nozzle at around 100°C. This method usually removes all the old color of filament from the
hot end, so when you begin printing again, the new color will begin printing immediately.

Use a nozzle cleaner to clear the nozzle:
●Select “
Prepare ” → “ Preheat PLA” . Wait for the nozzle to reach the set temperature of
195°C for PLA.
●Raise the Z-axis carriage by selecting
Prepare ” → “ Move axis ” → “ Move 1mm ” →
“
Move Z”
and spinning the knob. (You can also manually rotate the lead screw to move the
carriage up.)
●When the nozzle has reached 195°C, carefully insert the nozzle cleaner up into the tip of
the nozzle. Squeeze the extruder release lever with one hand and push the filament into
