Nozzle is dragging on print bed 

and not allowing the filament to 

be pushed out. If this print 

continues the bed may become 

damaged. 

 
 
 

Solution 

Raise the nozzle (outlined above) 

and make sure to turn the z-axis 

set screw (outlined below) to set 

the new z-axis zero height.

Nozzle is slightly above print bed allowing 

filament to be evenly spread onto the 

surface. The filament should be a clean 

continuous line throughout the whole 

print. 

 
 

Solution 

Nothing. 

Keep an eye on the print and let if finish.

Nozzle is too far from print bed 

causing the filament to not 

adhere and instead it will extrude 

into the air. You will either see a 

blob form at the tip or stringing in 

the air. 

 
 

Solution 

Lower the nozzle (outlined above) 

and make sure to turn the z-axis 

set screw (outlined below) to set 

the new minimum z-axis height.
