Чести проблеми и решения

Stringing

Thin, cobweb-like strands of plastic stretching between different parts of the printed model. Решение: Dry the filament for 4-6 hours (50°C for PLA, 70°C for Nylon), increase retraction distance by 1-2 mm, and decrease nozzle temperature by 5°C.

Warping

The corners or edges of the print curl upwards and detach from the build plate due to uneven thermal contraction. Решение: Increase the bed temperature by 5°C, add a 5-10 mm brim, apply an adhesive like glue stick, and keep the enclosure closed for materials like ABS or ASA.

Under-extrusion

The printed object has missing layers, thin walls, or structural gaps due to insufficient material flow. Решение: Perform 3-5 cold pulls to clear partial nozzle clogs, check extruder gear tension, and calibrate the E-steps (M92).

Elephant’s Foot

The base of the print bulges outwards, expanding slightly beyond the intended CAD dimensions. Решение: Raise the Z-offset by +0.05 mm, decrease the bed temperature by 5°C for the first layer, and set elephant foot compensation (0.1-0.2 mm) in the slicer.

Ghosting / Ringing

Repeating wavy lines or visual echoes appearing on the surfaces of the print, usually after sharp corners. Решение: Ensure belts are properly tensioned, lower print speeds to around 60 mm/s, and calibrate Input Shaper and Pressure Advance.

Подходящи приложения

• Rapid Prototyping: Producing fast, low-cost physical models to verify form, fit, and ergonomic design before mass production.
• Jigs and Fixtures: Manufacturing custom assembly aids, alignment templates, and holding fixtures using high-strength materials like CF-Nylon or PC.
• Low-Volume Production: Creating customized end-use parts, replacement components, or small production runs (1-100 units) without tooling costs.
