Tips

Some other brands of ABS filaments are less heat resistant and it is recommended to set the chamber temperature no more than 55 degrees Celsius. Otherwise the filaments may be soften in advance and cause clogging.
If the filaments do not stick to the print platform:
1. Please check if the nozzle is far away from the print plate, you can adjust the platform upward by Zoffset adjusting function.
2. Because of the different ambient temperatures in different regions, the temperature of the heat bed can be increased appropriately to increase the adhesion of the filaments.
3. If above all can not work, please contact the after-sales service for assistance.
