Here you find a list of common problems which can occur during the print.

Object bend up from the heatbead (ABS)

I had this problem under the following environment:

  • printer: reprap prusa i3
  • extrude: mgs
  • nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
  • filament: abs black 3mm

How it looks during fail:

Solution 1

after many try an errors i found the following solution:

my printer said it has 100°C on the heat bed but it were only 80°C. i had to replace the thermistor. after this i the abs sticks much better. i set the temperature to 105°C because more heat need a very long time to heat up. it is very important to calibrate the levelling correct and adjust the nozzle-heat bed distance.

Layers broken (ABS)

I had this problem under the following environment:

  • printer: reprap prusa i3
  • extrude: mgs
  • nozzle: jhead 0.5mm
  • filament: abs black 3mm

How it looks during fail:

Solution 1

TODO. possible reason: the heat bed turned off during the print.
