Chapter 9 Troubleshoot
Consumable (Filament)
What is the PLA/ABS default
setting temperature?
1. PLA: Nozzle temperature is 205
℃，
Platform temperature is 65~70
℃
;
2. ABS: Nozzle temperature is 220
℃，
Platform temperature is 100~110
℃
.
How to store the filament
when the printer will is out of use
for a long period of time?
3D Printer
Does the printer support offline
printing?
Support offline printing by using SD card.
How long will it take to print
an object?
How to fix the clogged nozzle?
The required time depends on the object size and resolution level. The higher the resolution
level, the slower printing speed. The printer is configured with different print setting option:
Best, Standard, draft. After you select the printing setting to slice, the repetier software will
show the needed time .
1. Refer to chapter 6.7, once the nozzle reached the setting temperature, please press the
printer head arm and at the same time pull on the filament to extract it from the nozzle.
2. Refer to the label on the printer, clean the nozzle using clean nozzle tool in the accessory.
3. Disassemble the printer head by unlocking the screws on the Fan, clean the blocked
filament inside the nozzle.
Can I adjust the parameter
during printing?
For new user, we do not suggest adjusting the parameter during printing.
For advanced user, you can push the knob to select “Control” to adjust Nozzle or Bed
temperature and printing speed during printing.
How can I know if the printer is
properly working
？
Refer to chapter 6.2~6.4 in user manual, print one of the test file in SD Card supplied with
printer. (For example: PDT2.gco for PLA filament, ADT2.gco for ABS filament)
The filament cannot come out
from the nozzle during printing?
1. The platform maybe too close to the nozzle tip, which will prevent the filament extruding
from the nozzle. Please select "Prepare"-"Calibrate Mode" of LCD screen to re-calibrate
the platform. ( refer to chapter 6.2 in user manual)
2. Remove the filament from the printer head (refer to chapter 6.7 in user manual), cut the
filament tip flat, make a length of filament straight and re-load it into the printer head.
Make sure that the filament is properly inserted into the nozzle receiving port.
3. Disassemble the printer head, check the gear which is pulling the filament into the nozzle.
If there are presence of filament powder residue is filled in, clean the gear using the brush.
Check also if the gear tooth is damaged. If yes, replace the gear with a new one.
The printer makes a clicking noise
when printing?
1. The filament is not properly inserted into the nozzle . Please unload the filament,
cut the end of the filament flat and re-load into the printer head. (refer to chapter 5.6)
2. It maybe a short length of the filament blocked in the nozzle from the last time it printed.
Refer to chapter 6.7 in user manual, heat the nozzle and push the blocked filament
into the nozzle tip by loading new filament, the blocked filament will be melted out.
The filament cannot be removed
from the printer head?
1. Check if the nozzle actual temperature reachs the setting temperature;
2. Refer to chapter 6.7 in user manual, when the nozzle actual temperature reach the
setting temperature, press the printer head arm and push a bit filament into the
nozzle until the filament come out from the nozzle, then pull the filament out quickly.
How about the length of 1000g
and 500g PLA/ABS filament?
The printed sample stick to the
platform too tight and cannot
be removed?
1. Please wait a few minutes for the platform and the printed samples cooldown, then
remove the printed sample.
2. If the printed samples still stick to the platform tightly, please carefully remove it using
a scalpel.
Can Printrite filament compatible
with other 3D printer?
Yes, Printrite filament can compatible with other FDM 3D printer, such as Makerbot, Afinia,
Reprap, UP!, etc. The filament diameter should be 1.75mm.

Question
Solution
If you do not use the the filament for a long time, keep your filament spool or cartridge in
a closed plastic bag to avoid the filament absorbing the moisture. Also, ensure insert the
filament tip into the small hole of the spool to avoid filament entangle when use next time.
1. 1000g: PLA around 320~330m
，
ABS around 390~400m;
2. 500g: PLA around 160~165m
，
ABS around 195~200m.
