Print model ahi 5 nn . ETE There might be 3 kinds of results for the first layer of the test prints. A: Nozzle too low, lack of extrusion, the nozzle rub against the platform. Slowly tighten the corresponding nuts underneath by half circle or level again. Nozzle too low Filament B: Proper nozzle height, good extrusion and adhesion.
Print model C: Nozzle too high, large gap, filaments do not even adhere to the platform. Slowly loosen the corresponding nuts underneath the platform by half circle or level again. Nozzle too high Filament i If you can't improve the model printing effect by fine-tuning the adjustable nuts, please level again. Nozzle and platform are still in high temperature when printing is finished, Please be cautious to avoid injury.Wait for them to cool before removing the magnetic sticker.
Print model After several times of leveling, if the printing effect is still poor, it may be that the D-shape wheels do not run smoothly or idle during printing. The D-shape wheels has been adjusted in factory, but they may be loose due to transportation. Check the D-shape wheels: Pull the X module up and down. If the Shape wheels along Z axis do not roll smoothly or idle, use a wrench to slowly turn the hexagonal pillars until the D-shape wheels roll smoothly.
