8. PRINTING PROBLEMS
We include some of the most common printing problems and where they come from.
8.1 Lack of Extrusion starting the printing.
Common problem among beginners on the
3D printing and it is very easy to resolve.
There are 4 possible causes:
The Extruder has not been purged before printing: It doesn’t
have enough material inside the Hotend due to inertia in the
heating and cooling of it. In the printer software beginning
GCode it has an established routine to purge a 10 mm filament
head before printing that is deposited on one of the surface
corner to prevent this problem.
It is recommended when you are configuring the printing to give a SKIRT to the
object which consists of an exterior parameter separated from the printing
object that will allow you to purge the nozzle and the adhesiveness of the first
layer.
The Nozzle is too close to the printing surface: The Nozzle will clog up if there is
not enough space to deposit the material on the printing surface. It is due to the
Z Axis Offset been too small. The 3DLimitless ILC has preconfigured and tested all
levels. If you want to modify the parameters, you would have to start a new
leveling process to the printing base. You will have to contact our technical
support department and we’ll help you through it.
The Filament has been bitten by the Extruder gear: This happens when the
Extruder pushing gears let out some of the material decreasing the filament
section causing it not having enough contact to keep pushing, the solution is on a
specific chapter of this manual.
Hotend obstruction: If the problem is none of the previous causes then, most
likely the Extruder is clogged up. It could happen when some of the material has
accumulated inside the heatbreak where the temperature is not enough to heat
it up, or after a change of material that requires a higher temperature and not all
remains have been removed from inside the Hotend. To resolve this problem,
you will have to contact our technical support department and we’ll help you
through it since there are many solutions depending on the origin and nature of
used filament.
