The printed object does not adhere to the printing plate:
• The temperature of the printing plate is set incorrectly. Experiment with the temperature settings in steps of 5 °C for a prefect print result.
• When printing problematic objects, it is beneficial to let the printing plate heat up for approx. 15 minutes before printing.
• Check whether the heating (red foam material) adheres cleanly to the ceramics printing plate. It must not come loose (even partially). If this
is the case, the temperature distribution of the heating plate is insufficient and the printed objects cannot adhere well.
• There are residues on the printing plate that prevent adhesion of the object. Rub the printing plate with a soft cloth that is soaked with a
solvent (e.g. acetone).
• The printing plate has not reached the set temperature yet.
• At PLA printing of small objects with a small footprint, it is recommended to apply the printing plate with cleaning tape or a slightly structured
crepe tape before printing. This increases adhesion of the printed object on the base plate.
The printed object cannot be removed from the heating plate:
• Wait until the printing plate has cooled down to less than 40 °C.
• Use a glass scraper or a knife to remove the object.
There are problems when printing ABS:
• ABS-printing is very sensitive to drafts. It may lead to deformation of the printed object and to cancellation of printing.
Therefore, we recommend keeping drafts as low as possible. This is most easily done with the optional "Housing".
• Let the printed object cool off slowly and evenly after completion before you remove it from the printing plate.
• Use suitable adhesive tape, e.g. Kapton tape or blue crepe tape (Conrad item no. 1093104).
Repairs other than those described above should only be carried out by an authorised specialist.
