Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't start | Power issue, firmware error | Check power supply, restart printer, update firmware |
| Poor layer adhesion | Bed not level, temperature too low | Re-level bed, increase bed/nozzle temperature |
| Filament not extruding | Nozzle clogged, extruder gear slipping | Clean nozzle, check extruder tension, clear jam |
| Warped prints | Bed temperature uneven, cooling too fast | Increase bed temperature, use enclosure, add brim |
| Layer shifting | Belt tension, mechanical obstruction | Check belt tension, clean rails, reduce speed |
| Stringing/oozing | Retraction settings, temperature too high | Adjust retraction settings, lower nozzle temperature |
Error Codes
- E01: Heating failed - Check thermistor and heater cartridge
- E02: Temperature runaway - Verify cooling and thermal safety
- E03: Bed heating failed - Check bed thermistor and heater
- E04: Filament runout - Load new filament and resume
- E05: Motor stall - Check for mechanical obstruction
- E06: Communication error - Restart printer and software
