11.1 Printing Problems
Clicking sound from one of the stepper motors
One of your stepper motors may not be connected properly. Check each connection and then
inspect the cable routing for any faults
File not printing
Remove the microSD card and insert into your computer. Open the GCODE file using a text editor
(eg. Notepad), and inspect if GCODE is readable or not. If file consists of multiple ‘ÿÿÿÿ’ symbol,
then file has been corrupted. Try reformatting your microSD card and reloading the GCODE file
NOTE: Reformatting will delete all files on your SD card
Not extruding when starting to print
• Ensure that the nozzle temperature has been set to match the filament being used
• Ensure there are no blockages in the nozzle
Not sticking to the bed
• Ensure that the bed is clean and free from dust
• Check that the bed is level and set to a distance of approximately 0.1mm - see page 16 Levelling
The Bed
• If there are defects / deep scratches in the printing mat, it may need to be changed.
• Ensure the gap between the nozzle and bed is no greater than 0.1mm. Material will solidify if
the gap is large
• Other actions that can be taken to help bed adhesion:
• Use blue painters masking tape to protect the print mat
• Add a brim or raft to your file via a slicing software
• Use the included glue stick and apply a thin even layer to the print mat
• Visit www.cocoonproducts.com.au for a tutorial on levelling the print bed or to order
additional mats.
