7.8 Network Errors - Packet Timeout
Explanation:
The Packet Time Out error is a result of lost or impaired communication between the printer
and the PC.
A Packet Time Out error may also occur if the file is too large and the PC cannot transfer the file data fast
enough. For example, some files may be layer-data heavy, meaning that the bulk of the data is in a small
quantity of layers.
Solution:
Check for these problems:
•
The PC used to control the printer may
•
Be too busy running other applications.
•
Be running a virus or spyware scan.
•
Be in a “sleep” or “suspend” mode due to power management settings.
•
Not meet the minimum system requirements. See
Section 1.3, ’Computer/System Requirements’
.
•
The printer’s network connection may be lost
•
Printer’s network cable may be unplugged, or damaged.

7.9 Part Quality Issues - General
There can be many causes to part quality issues. Refer to the sections that follow to find your problem, and
the suggested solutions.
7.9.1 Part Colors Do Not Match PC Monitor Colors
Explanation:
PC monitor settings are adjustable, and monitors vary in color accuracy. Monitor colors
should not be used to gauge the color of printed parts. In addition, color cannot be properly judged until the
part has been infiltrated and cured.
Solution:
•
Infiltrate and cure your parts before judging color.
•
Be sure to check that your Core settings in 3DPrint match the Core/printer combination that you are
using.
•
Cleaning the Service Station after every build also plays a key role in color quality.
7.9.2 Parts Broken After Automatic Gross Cleaning
Explanation:
Either your parts are too small or too delicate to handle the vibration when the build chamber
empties, or your parts are not printing correctly.
