PROBLEM

CAUSE

CORRECTION

Filament not 

Extruding Enough 

(under-extrusion)

Extruder temperature is too low

Make sure extruder nozzle temperature is in correct range for the filament 

being printed.

Filament grinding or slipping on the 

drive gear

Increase the force being applied to the tensioner arm with the tension adjust-

ment screw to eliminate the grinding.
Resistance is causing the filament to grind; hot end could be partially 

jammed due to heat soak or poor nozzle condition. Allow printer to cool,  

then ensure nozzle and PTFE tube are in good condition. If necessary to 

replace contact Eastwood Technical Assistance: [email protected]  

or 800.544.5118.

Filament diameter incorrect

Use only quality filaments with a 1.75 ± 0.05mm dia. tolerance or better.

Speed too high

We recommend to not exceed 60mm/sec for standard filaments.

Filament spool not feeding all

Verify filament spool is feeding smoothly and not knotted or kinked.

Difficult to  

Level Bed  

Because Right 

Side is too Low

X-Axis is sagging due to poor alignment

Loosen the two mounting screws on the Z-Axis roller bracket and position 

the beam upward so that it is more level with the bed. Retighten screws.

Inadequate roller tension

Tighten roller tension slightly utilizing the eccentric nut, but not so much  

tension to cause binding.

Poor  

First Layer.  

Not Adhering to 

Print Bed

Nozzle height too high

Slowly adjust Z-Offset down as print begins until good adhesion occurs.

Incorrect temperatures

Increase temperature of print bed and nozzle to suite the filament  

being printed.

Poor  

First Layer.  

Not Laying Down 

Uniformly:

Nozzle height too low

Slowly adjust Z-Offset up as print begins until a uniform bead of plastic  

appears.
