DM 2610047405AB 03-18_3D45 3/27/18 9:51 AM Page 35 Troubleshooting PROBLEM 35 CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Filament is not extruding or sticking to the build plate properly. This can be caused by the build platform not being leveled with the extruder head. Leveling the build platform will align the extruder head and ensure a better object quality. Cancel your object, clear build platform, level the build platform, and restart the object. Dremel 3D45 froze before my object started.
