e. 

Gaps:   

 

Gaps are caused by too much retraction or by setting the nozzle 

 

 

 

 

too high above the printing platform. It is suggested that you  

 

 

 

 

decrease the retraction value. 

 
f. 

Skewing: 

 

(i) The moving speed may be too fast. Decrease the speed to reduce  
skewing. 
(ii) The model may have issues with its geometry which can cause a 

 

ske  o   sla t   he  

 generating the G-code.  The quickest way to 

 

resolve this issue is to change the size of the model  [slightly larger 

 

or slightly smaller]  or the shape of the model  [slightly wider or 

 

slightly  thinner]. 

 
g. 

Too much chocolate: 

Too much chocolate is being extruded at the beginning of a print. 

 

 

 

 

The initial extrusion value is too high, or there is excess pressure 

 

 

 

 

inside the syringe. 

 

4.8.2  Maintenance

 

 
a. 

No retraction:   

If the retraction value has been set accurately, tighten the screws of 

 

 

 

 

the E-axis. 

 
b. 

Loose printing head: 

The screws have become loose due to vibration. Tighten the four 

 

 

 

 

screws on the back and the screw on the top. 

 
c. 

Unusual noises:  

Too much noise during printing means that the printer has been 

 

 

 

 

working for a long time and the  screw rod has gotten dry. The screw 

 

 

 

 

rod (and possibly the sliding block) needs to be lubricated in order 

 

 

 

 

to make the screw rod operate smoothly. 

 
d. 

Rubber bung stuck 

It is advisable to wash the syringe every time after use, otherwise

 

in syringe: 

 

the rubber bung may stick inside the syringe. Although the rubber  
bung is medical grade rubber, it will wear out after using it for a long  
time and will need to be replaced. Replace the rubber bung with an  
identical replacement. If the rubber bung does get stuck inside the 
syringe, put the syringe in 60°C water for a while and remove the 

bung with tweezers.
