    This option is available in CURA software. Leaning Leaning print is generally caused by friction causing the print head to move the shorter distance than expected. Make sure the moving parts of the printer don’t rub against the main body of the printer. Figure 7.2 www.intamsys.com...
  • Page 55 The other solution is to print more layers for top and bottom parts esp. when layer height is very thin. Figure 7.4 www.intamsys.com...
  • Page 56 Another solution can be reducing the temperature. But when reducing the temperature, make sure the printer is printing slowly to prevent under extrusion. Figure 7.6 www.intamsys.com...
  • Page 57 Tangled filament is the most obvious issue. Make sure the filament can unspool unhindered. Feeder Pressure The amount of pressure feeder puts on filament is adjustable. This pressure has to be adjusted to the optimal level to prevent filament grinding. www.intamsys.com...
  • Page 58 0.40 mm nozzle, layer height shouldn’t be higher than 0.32 mm. One other reason for the layer separation and splitting is print temperature being too low. Warm plastic always bond together much better than cold plastic. So, increase the nozzle temperature. Figure 7.10 www.intamsys.com...
