TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom: no connection with the machine.
Reason:
dropped USB connection
Solution:
insert/remove USB cable. Voxelizer should reconnect automatically.
If it doesn’t , run the program again and repeat the steps.
If this doesn’t help, reset the machine.
Symptom: plastic doesn’t flow,
even though extruder pulley is rotating normally.
Reason:
blocked nozzle, temperature too low, nozzle blocked by glass table
(pushed against it), or extrusion speed too high.
Solution:
removing the filament, cutting 10-20cm off, feeding it back in.
Fixing one of the reasons stated above (cleaning the nozzle,
increasing the temperature, lowering extrusion speed
or increasing the gap between glass and nozzle).
Symptom: plastic blocks in extruder from time to time.
Reason:
uneven diameter of the filament (above 3.1mm).
To verify, measure filament in several places.
Solution:
changing the material to one from different source.
Symptom: print is brittle, layers don’t stick together.
Plastic doesn’t flow evenly.
Reason:
partially blocked nozzle or temperature too low.
Solution:
cleaning the nozzle or increasing the temperature.
