Common Print Problems

Print Won't Stick to the Bed

Clean with isopropyl alcohol. Check bed leveling. Slow down first layer. Try a glue stick.

Spaghetti / Print Came Loose

Usually bed adhesion. Enable a brim or raft. Avoid drafts near the printer.

Stringing

Enable retraction. Lower nozzle temperature 5-10C. Dry your filament.

Clogged Nozzle

Heat nozzle, try a cold pull. Check for tangles on spool. Replace nozzle if needed.

STL File Won't Open

Extract from .zip first. Drag into slicer. Check units (mm vs inches). Re-download if corrupted.
