Tips
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.

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 |
||

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 |

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 |
