A list of common problems
Here you find a list of common problems which can occur during the print.
Contents
Object bend up from the heatbead (ABS)
I had this problem under the following environment:
- Printer: reprap prusa i3
- Extrude: mgs
- Nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
- Filament: abs black 3mm
How it looks during fail:
Solution 1
After many try an errors I found the following solution:
My printer said it has 100°C on the heat bed but it were only 80°C. I had to replace the thermistor. After this I the ABS sticks much better. I set the temperature to 105°C, more than that temperature consume more time (about 20 minutes and longer). It is very important to calibrate the heat bed levelling correct and adjust the nozzle heat bed distance.
Layers broken (ABS)
I had this problem under the following environment:
- Printer: reprap prusa i3
- Extrude: mgs
- Nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
- Filament: abs black 3mm
How it looks during fail:
Solution 1
- I have to turn of the fan's. The layer break because the object cool off to fast
Bad first layer (ABS)
I had this problem under the following environment:
- Printer: reprap prusa i3
- Extrude: mgs
- Nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
- Filament: abs black 3mm
- Temperature: 230°C
How it looks during fail:
Solution
Increase the nozzle heat bed distance
Bad top infill (PLA)
I had this problem under the following environment:
- Printer: reprap prusa i3
- Extrude: mgs
- Nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
- Filament: pla green 3mm
- Temperature: 170°C
How it looks during fail:
Solution
Reduce the perimeter shell to 1
Object bend up on the outer perimeters (ABS)
I had this problem under the following environment:
- Printer: reprap prusa i3
- Extrude: mgs
- Nozzle: jhead 0.35mm
- Filament: abs white 3mm
How it looks during fail:
Solution
I had to increase the fan speed because the temperature of the print was to high.
