There are many causes to prevent filaments from coming out well. One of the most common causes is
when is clogged. When this happens, set the extruder temperature higher than 240
℃
at [Utilities] > [Preheat
Setting], and use [Preheat] function of display menu to melt the filaments accumulated inside the nozzle,
whereby the nozzle can be unclogged. (Reduce the extruder temperature again after use). If the method
mentioned above fails to solve the problem, use hex wrench to unscrew the two bolts positioned at an upper
surface of the extruder and the two bolts positioned at a lower surface of the extruder, separate the two parts
and check if filament scraps clog the nozzle hole. Next, unclog the nozzle hole using a long unfolded clip or
a smallest hex wrench provided at the time of purchase while the extruder is under a preheated state (do the
separation work while the power is turned off after preheat. Malfunction may occur if fan separation work is
performed while the extruder is under the preheat state)

If the printed material is not properly stuck to the output board, or if the printed material is not prop-
erly outputted, it means that there is a problem in a gap between the nozzle and the output board. If this
problem occurs, select [Utilities] > [Standard Leveling], adjust a round knob underneath the printing bed, and
properly adjust the gap between the output board and the nozzle. This problem can be easily solved if Auto
Leveling function of Edison PRO is used (See page 11 in the instruction Manual).

The temperature of the printing bed may also be a cause preventing the printed object from being
properly attached to the output board, which can be solved by setting a proper temperature of heated bed
catering to the material to be used. In general, the temperature for PLA is in the range of 60
℃
~ 80
℃
, and the
temperature of ABS requires a bed temperature of above 110
℃
.

Malfunction may also occur when the gear extruding the filament is not properly operated. If malfunc-
tion occurs, dismantle the extruder, and remove the wastes accumulated on the gear using a brush such as
tooth brush, then the problem can be solved.
A3
It is also important to set the extruder temperature according to material. If the extruder temperature
is too high or too low, the material may hold together, or may not be properly solved to prevent a smooth
output. Be sure to check the proper temperature according to the used material.
