FAQ-3d Printer

Check whether the screen cable is loose, and re-tighten it;
Remove the screen from the machine casing and put it on an insulating object to see if it is better. If it is better, add insulating tape between the screen and the machine casing when putting the screen back into the machine; if it still does not improve, it means that there is something wrong with the screen. Replace the screen.
Check whether the power supply voltage of the printer complies with the local rated voltage;
If the switch light is on, but the power light is not on, it may be that the wires on the power supply are connected incorrectly or the ship type switch is connected incorrectly, resulting in no power supply. You need to check whether the wires are connected correctly;
When both the switch light and the power light are on, but the main board light is not on, it may be that the main board cannot be used due to the short circuit of the broken material detection. You only need to re-edit the wiring sequence to solve it.
Check whether the card can be used normally on the computer. If the SD card can be used normally on the computer, save the file to the computer first, then format the card, and test it on the machine after formatting; if it cannot be recognized, It proves that there is a problem with the SD card and needs to be replaced;
The file code is wrong, the code needs to be renamed;
Check whether the motor is operating normally, if it stops rotating, try to restart the machine;
Try to troubleshoot the problem from the following points:
Motor drive current is too large, re-adjust the appropriate drive current;
The synchronous wheel of the motor is not fixed – retighten the synchronous wheel;
The hardware position of the machine, such as the optical shaft, the slider, and the lead screw, is stuck – manually adjust it until it is smooth after oiling;
The belt on the X Y axis is too loose – readjust the tension of the belt;
Try to troubleshoot the problem from the following points:
- Check whether it is caused by the guide shaft and sliding operation, and lubricating oil can be used for lubrication;
- Check whether the belt is off or misplaced, readjust and correct;
Preheat the nozzle to 200°, and clean up the waste on the heating block. Unscrew the two screws of the cooling block, and use tools to remove the heating block, throat, and nozzle in turn for cleaning. (Note: Be careful of high temperature during heat treatment and pay attention to safety)
The heated bed exceeds the maximum temperature limit.
Whether the thermal wire is correctly connected to the thermal hole of the hot bed on the main board;
Using the wrong volt heat bed causes the heating to exceed the maximum limit too fast;
Whether the hot bed terminal welding is normal and there is no solder joint;
Whether the thermal sensor of the hot bed is damaged (you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance value);
Some models have heat-sensitive wires at the bottom of the hot bed, check whether the two wires are short-circuited
The extrusion head has a temperature limit.
Check the temperature displayed on the display;
Check whether the thermal sensor is plugged into the main board or whether it is broken;
If you have a multimeter, please check whether the resistance of the thermistor is normal. If it does not appear, the resistance may be faulty;
FAQ-TTS
