Annealing Process: Put in oven with temperature ranged from 150℃ for 1 hour to 200℃ for 1 hour or 150℃ for 0.5 hour.

1.Please do NOT start your print before checking your printer runs normally and keep the print bed and nozzle at a proper distance,

including the clean of residuals on nozzle.

2.Please ensure the filament is tangle-free before use and is secured each time after the end of printing.

3.MAKE SURE don’t let the open-end loose and spring back to the spool. It could lead to cross under unnoticed and could eventually

get stuck. ALWAYS secure the open-end. If it springs back accidentally, you will need to TIGHTLY unwind for 20 feet to fix any tangles formed.

4.Printing temperature may varies on different printers, extruding the filament beforehand for testing the best printing temperature

that is measured by smooth extrusion, which should be proper otherwise may generate the possibility of strings.

5.Near-end Extruder：Retraction distance 1-3mm，Retraction speed 20-30mm/s.

Far-end Extruder ：Retraction distance 4-6mm，Retraction speed 40-60mm/s.

6.Please clean the feeding gear regularly with a toothbrush.

7.Nozzle wear is easier to happen in the glow in the dark filaments.

8.Please ensure the constant temperature in printing area in case the occurrence of edge warping and cracking due to the fast

cooling rate and excessive shrinkage rate.

9.For small print, additional fans are recommended to facilitate the cooling including the flexible filaments for averting undesirable

shape result from slow cooling at local area.

10.0.6mm or bigger nozzle is required to print the metal filaments otherwise it is to be blocked. And the nozzle should be cleaned

with cleaning filament or PLA after long-time printing in case of nozzle jam.

11.The common printer throat is equipped with in-built Teflon tube designed for resisting the blockage, and the printing temperature

should be within 260℃.

12.Printing parameters correlate with the performance, size of print, complexity and characteristics of filaments,therefore the best

print result demands users to find out the printing parameters that work with printer and filaments perfectly.

                                                                       

 

Questions	Cause Analysis		Directions
Blocked Nozzle	Diameter: over thick/thin		Replace filament
	Printer: Gear clearance jammed		Clean gear
	Gear: abrasion /insufficient bite force		Clean gear, strengthen bite force
	Throat: deformed		Change new
	Temperature: too low / filament burned or carbonized		Temperature rise / Clean the nozzle with thin iron stick
Stringing	Temperature: too high		Lower printing temp properly
	Remnants surrounded the nozzle		Clean the nozzle before printing
	Oozing when printer travel		Raise travel speed,retraction speed and retraction distance
Dark Spot	Remnants surrounded the nozzle		Clean the nozzle before printing
	Impure filament		Change pure filament
Print Offset	Belt loose		Adjust the belt position to even out the belt tension
	Polish rod being dry		Check the rods are clean and apply some oil
	Malfunction of drive coupler		Repair or change a new one
Print Edges Are Warping	The space between nozzle and print bed is big		Narrow the space
	Weak viscous force of coating on print bed		Change the coating or adhesive tape.change your print bed to one that offers better adhesion
	Print bed temperature too low		Increase the bed temperature
	Bottom layer printed too fast		10-20mm/s
	Shrinkage rate is too big / cooling too fast		Keep the temperature, Slow down the cooling wind speed / close the cooling fan
	Low Print temperature and fluidity		Improve the printing temperature of first layer properly
Cracking	High shrinkage rate / fast cooling speed		Increase print temperature / Keep the temperature / Reduce print speed / thickness
Bevel molded with failure	Cooling too slow / printing speed is too fast		Accelerate the cooling / reduce printing speed / increase wall thickness and filling rate
