FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers may encounter some common failures in daily use, here are some of the problems I often encounter in daily life and their possible solutions:
Print bottom attachment problem:
Problem description: The FDM printer bottom layer cannot be attached to the printing bed, causing the entire printing process to fail.
Solution: Make sure the bottom surface of the print is clean, use the appropriate bottom adhesive or tape, adjust the print bed temperature and calibrate the print height.
Clogged nozzle:
Problem description: Nozzle blockage causes plastic to not be extruded normally.
Solution: Clean the nozzle, you can try needle cleaning or hot disassembly cleaning method.
Poor interlayer adhesion:
Problem description: The adhesion between different layers of the print is not strong.
Solution: Check the printing temperature, printing speed and height Settings to ensure proper adhesion.
Print deformation:
Problem description: The print is deformed during or after the printing process.
Solution: Use heating bed, adjust the adhesion of the bottom layer, reduce the wind power of the cooling fan and other methods to prevent deformation.
Support structure problems:
Description of the problem: The support structure is difficult to remove, affecting the surface quality of the print.
Solution: Adjust the setting of the support structure, use the appropriate support density and mode, and minimize the impact of the support on the surface of the printed part.
Poor print quality:
Problem description: The print surface is rough, the details are fuzzy and other quality problems.
Solution: Adjust the printing parameters, such as temperature, speed, filling density, etc., to ensure the use of high-quality printing materials.
