The Alfawise U20 is an FDM 3D printer from Alfawise with a 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume.
The Alfawise U20 is an FDM 3D printer from Alfawise with a 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume.
Start by assembling or inspecting the frame so every gantry extrusion, corner bracket, and fastener is tight and square, because the U20 is a large-format bed-slinger and the bed mass amplifies any looseness in the structure.
Action: Power off the printer, move the bed by hand through its travel, and verify that the motion feels smooth and uniform with no binding.
Symptom: One side of the print sticks well while the opposite side fails, or the first layer is perfect in the center but uneven at the corners.
Cause: The provided compatibility data lists no probing tool / auto bed leveling, so the printer depends on manual calibration and a sufficiently flat surface.
