  • Page 47: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING In this chapter, you will find solutions to various frequently occurring problems with 3D Printed parts.

  • Page 48: Warping

    Note: We referred to www.3dverstan.se for this content as the common problems while printing are the same across different FDM 3D Printers. Warping Warping mainly happens with ABS. Warping happens when the plastic cools and contracts. As the print cools down and shrinks slightly, it starts to pull in on itself.

  • Page 49: Shifted Layers

    Shifted Layers If a printer suddenly shifts the layers it is most likely because one or more pulleys are not secured properly to the axis/ axes. Tighten the set screws that hold the pulleys in place very tightly. Another issue might be the head being too stiff. Add some sewing machine oil to solve this issue.

  • Page 50: Circles Not Round / Lines Not Touching

    Circles Not Round / Lines Not Touching When you are trying to print circles, it is possible they don’t come out perfectly circular. This problem stems from backlash caused by slack belts. To solve this issue the belts should be tightened. To tighten the belts, loosen the stepper motor, pull it downward or upward to tighten the belt and then tighten the stepper motor screws.

  • Page 51: First Layer Not Sticking / Parts Coming Loose

    First layer not sticking / Parts coming loose The most common cause of this problem is improper leveling of the build plate. It is very important that the build plate is perfectly leveled in relation to the movement of the print head and that the distance between the nozzle and the plate is as close to perfect as possible.

  • Page 52: Tangled Filament

    Tangled Filament A tangled filament can cause numerous printing problems. Make sure the filament can unspool unhindered. Feeder Pressure The amount of pressure the feeder puts on the filament is adjustable. This pressure should be adjusted to the optimal level to prevent filament grinding.

  • Page 53: Layer Separation And Splitting

    Layer separation and splitting One major reason for layer separation and splitting is the layer height being too large. As a rule of thumb, layer height should be at most 80% of the nozzle diameter, i.e., if you are using 0.40 mm nozzle, layer height should not be greater than 0.32 mm.
  • Page 54 between the nozzle and the build plate. If the nozzle is too close, the filament will be obstructed from coming out of the nozzle. In such a case, you should re-level the bed.
