Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't start | Power issue, main switch off | Check power supply, ensure main switch is on |
| Poor first layer adhesion | Bed not level, nozzle too high, dirty bed | Re-level bed, adjust Z-offset, clean bed with isopropyl alcohol |
| Filament not extruding | Nozzle clogged, extruder gear slipping | Perform cold pull to clear clog, check extruder tension |
| Layer shifting | Belt tension, mechanical obstruction | Check and adjust belt tension, ensure smooth movement |
| Unusual noises | Loose components, dry bearings | Tighten all screws, lubricate linear rails if needed |
| Wi-Fi connection issues | Network problems, incorrect settings | Check network connection, reset Wi-Fi settings |
