Print Quality
Symptom-first guides: first layer, blocked nozzles, stringing, shifted layers.
Clearing a Blocked NozzleHow to clear a blocked or clogged nozzle: heat soak, needle clearing and cold pulls, and how to stop the clog coming back.
First Layer Not Extruding ProperlyNothing extruding on the first layer: nozzle too close to the bed, Z-offset and bed levelling checks, and clearing a starved extruder.
Print Quality Problems: Where to StartMost print failures are one of about ten problems, and each has a known cause and a known fix.
Small Prints Failing: Causes and FixesSmall prints melting or slumping: why small parts fail, and the layer-time, cooling and batch fixes that solve it.- Stringing and Oozing: Causes and FixesStringing is the fine hairs of plastic left between features of a print, where the nozzle travelled across a gap and oozed on the way.
