Strings of plastic appear around the piece
This happens when the extruder is moved from one point to another without depositing material.
To avoid this, set the retract option in Slic3r. It retracts part of the extruder motor wire, so that the pressure of the
material inside the extruder is reduced and dripping is prevented during axes movement. If the retract increases,
there’s a decrease in string-shaped waste.
Modeling
The higher we print, the need for support structures becomes more obvious.Deposited material tends to detach itself
in steep areas or hanging parts such as overhangs.
When this happens, it’s recommended to make use of Slicr options regarding the creation of support colums.
One layer is displaced relative to the lower one
When there is a discrepancy between layers position, it is likely that one of the motors lost steps. Firstly, you must
identify which axis is affected and then adjust that motor’s pololu, as explained in section
9 (Troubleshooting).
