Print Appears Cloudy

If the print appears cloudy, the filament is not dry. Consult the filament manufacturer for
the appropriate drying procedure.

Layer Shift

If a print unexpectedly shifts in the middle of a print, follow the troubleshooting steps
below.

✓

Ensure that the nozzle is clear of any excess material build up that could hit the
existing print.

✓

Confirm that the belts are tensioned. If plucked, the belt should audibly resonate like
a guitar string.

Clogged Nozzle

Perform the Cold Pull method on the nozzle to remove any old material.

•

Remove the filament feeder tube from the extruder head.

•

Heat up the hot end to the printing temperature of your chosen cold pull
filament while removing the old filament.

•

Feed the cold pull filament through the nozzle until it begins to ooze out.

•

Cool the hot end while applying constant pressure on the filament strand. This
ensures the tip of the strand molds to the shape of t

he nozzle’s int

erior while

cooling.

•

When the hot end is about 60°C, release the pressure. By this time, the clog or
dirt should be attached to the cold pull filament strand.

•

Heat the nozzle up once again to the printing temperature of your filament and
start pulling it out.

Heat the nozzle to the correct temperature and gently insert a cleaning needle up
through the end of the nozzle, then purge.

Note: It is not necessary to remove all the material. This method is to break up the
blockage.
