Maintenance And Service - Dremel 3D20 Original Instructions Manual

Problem
Extruder head building off center
PLA is not extruding or sticking to
the build tape properly
Dremel 3D software froze during
use or computer froze.
Dremel 3D20 froze before my
object started.
3D file loads with a warning stating
that the file is not closed.
Support material does not break
away during cleaning and results
in decreased quality of the final
object.
Spaghetti mess at end of build.
Part only built halfway.
No filament coming out
Extruder will not home
Stringy or fraying plastic layers on
steep overhangs

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Cause
Dremel 3D20 has lost track of the
extruder head's exact location and
is failing to build.
This can be caused by the build
platform not being leveled with the
extruder head.
Sometimes software isn't as smart
as you are and locks up.
Dremel 3D20 may have received
conflicting commands.
3D file has not been properly
designed and has open surfaces.
Orientation of the part is not
optimized.
A layer of your object did not stick
properly, model was saved with
minimal surface area contacting the
build platform, or object was built
floating above the build platform
with no support selected.
Filament ran out.
Filament clogged during build.
Clogged extruder
Limit switch wire failure
Object overhangs are too far apart
or too steep (<45degree angle).

Corrective Action
Sending the extruder head to the
home position will recalibrate the
Dremel 3D20. Cancel your object,
clear build platform, send the
extruder head to the home position,
and restart the object.
Leveling the build platform will align
the extruder head and ensure a
better object quality. Cancel your
object, clear build platform, level
the build platform, and restart the
object.
Save any open files if possible
and either restart the Dremel 3D
software or your computer.
Turn power switch off, wait 30
seconds, and turn power switch on.
Open 3D file in a CAD editing
software to close all the open
surfaces.
Reorient the position of the 3D
file in Dremel 3D to minimize
the support material or place the
support material on a non-critical
surface.
Use the preview future in Dremel
3D to see the first layer height and
position. Build with supports when
necessary.
Replace filament and start build
over.
See "No filament coming out".
Use unclog tool to push through
filament.
