First layer won’t stick
Check plate cleanliness, selected build surface, bed calibration, temperature and relevant printer instructions.
SOLVE / TROUBLESHOOTING
A failed print is a symptom. Find the cause.
Review likely causes one by one instead of changing every setting at the same time.
Common symptoms
Stringing
Review moisture, temperature, travel moves and retraction only where your extrusion system supports adjustment.
Warping
Often involves thermal contraction, bed adhesion and ambient conditions.
Layer shifting
Consider collisions, mechanical resistance, movement system condition and acceleration settings.
Weak layer bonding
Investigate material choice, moisture, temperature, flow and part orientation before changing infill.
Poor supports
Adjust orientation, support geometry and interface settings for your nozzle, layer height and filament.
Safety: Do not modify electrical wiring, power supplies or heating circuits without appropriate expertise. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance procedures first.
