Чести проблеми и решения

Stringing

Thin web-like plastic strings appearing between separate parts of the printed object. Решение: Dry the filament for 4-6 hours at 50-70 degrees Celsius, increase retraction distance by 1-2 mm, lower nozzle temperature by 5 degrees, and increase travel speed to 200 mm/s.

Warping

The corners or edges of the print detach from the build plate and curl upwards due to thermal shrinkage. Решение: Increase bed temperature by 5 degrees, use a 5-10 mm brim, ensure the enclosure is active, apply bed adhesive like glue stick, and reduce part cooling fan speed to 30% for the first 5 layers.

Under-extrusion

Thin, brittle walls and structural gaps on the surface indicating insufficient plastic flow. Решение: Perform a cold pull to clear partial clogs, calibrate E-steps, increase nozzle temperature by 5 degrees, and check the extruder gear tension.
