Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Software won't launch | Missing dependencies, graphics driver issues | Reinstall Visual C++ redistributables, update graphics drivers |
| Models won't load | Corrupted files, unsupported format | Check file integrity, ensure STL/OBJ/3MF format |
| Slicing errors | Non-manifold geometry, model errors | Use repair tools, check for holes in mesh |
| Printer not detected | Driver issues, connection problems | Reinstall USB drivers, check cable connection |
| Slow performance | Large models, insufficient RAM | Simplify models, increase virtual memory, add RAM |
| Export failures | Disk space issues, permission problems | Free up disk space, run as administrator |
