Common Errors and How to Fix Them

Problem 1: Poor Adhesion on the Print Bed

Cause:

  • Incorrect leveling.

  • Dirt or grease accumulated on the bed surface.

Solution:

  • Activate the LeviQ 3.0 automatic leveling function to ensure a perfectly leveled base.

  • Clean the print bed with isopropyl alcohol to remove residue and improve adhesion.

  • Use an adhesive such as 3D Lac to secure the first layers and prevent them from detaching.

Problem 2: Nozzle Clogs

Cause:

  • Use of low-quality or moisture-damaged filament.

  • Residue buildup in the hotend.

Solution:

  • Regularly clean the nozzle with appropriate tools to remove residue.

  • Use high-quality filaments such as the basic PLA with RFID, which guarantee smooth and precise extrusion.

  • Store filaments in a dry place or use drying systems to maintain their quality.

Problem 3: Loss of Synchronization in Multicolor Projects

Cause:

  • Filament incorrectly loaded or not compatible with the ACE system.

  • Configuration errors in color changing.

Solution:

  • Verify that the filament is correctly loaded and aligned in the ACE system.

  • Use RFID-compatible filaments for precise synchronization.

  • Review the color change settings in the slicing software and make sure they are correct.

Problem 4: Spaghetti in the Print

Cause:

  • Incorrect speed or temperature settings.

  • Inadequate belt tension.

Solution:

  • Adjust the print speed and make sure to use recommended values (300 mm/s is ideal for the Kobra 3 Combo).

  • Use the AI spaghetti detection system to identify problems before they affect quality.

  • Inspect the belts and adjust their tension if necessary.

General Maintenance Tips
