Frequently Asked Questions; How Can I Solve The Issue Of The Print Not Sticking To The Bed - LeapFrog Creatr-HS Manual

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Although our instructions in this manual are of course highly brilliant ;-) we can imagine that you
run into some questions while you are printing. This section of the manual is devoted to that. Note
that you can find much more help and support in The Ecosystem, which you can access through
creatrhs.lpfrg.com/.
This section contains the answers to the following frequently asked questions.
4.1

How can I solve the issue of the print not sticking to the bed?

4.2 What should I do when I cannot get my filament to go through the filament guiding tube?
4.3 What can I do if my filament does not come out of the extruder?
4.4 My print surface is very rough, how can I solve this?
4.5 Where do I go with my other questions?
4.1 How can I solve the issue of the print not sticking to the bed?
If your prints do not stick to the printing glass there are several steps you have to check on:
• The distance between the extruder and the printing bed: If the distance is too big the layers will
not stick and when the distance is too small the extruder will scratch the previous layer causing
it to come off.
• The temperature of the bed and the nozzle: Make sure they are at the right temperature for
your material.

• The tension of the filament drive on the fil-
ament: The filament drive is located at the
back of the printer. Too much tension of the
drive gear on the filament causes small cuts
on the filament. If there is too little tension
the drive gear wheel will slip and unsuffi-
cient material reaches the extruder. You
can adjust the tension by loosening or tight-
ening the knob.
If the problem persists even after you level the extruders please try to calibrate the printing glass
as well (as explained in section 1.6.)
