Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Problem 1: Poor Bed Adhesion

Cause:

  • Incorrect bed leveling.

  • Dirt or grease buildup on the print bed surface.

Solution:

  • Use the LeviQ 3.0 auto-leveling feature to ensure a perfectly level first layer.

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

  • Apply an adhesive such as 3D Lac to help the first layers stick and prevent warping or detachment.

Problem 2: Nozzle Clogs

Cause:

  • Using low-quality or moisture-affected filament.

  • Debris build-up in the hotend.

Solution:

  • Clean the nozzle regularly with the appropriate tools to remove any residue.

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

  • Store filaments in a dry environment or use a filament dryer to maintain their quality.

Issue 3: Loss of Synchronisation in Multicolour Projects

Cause:

  • Filament incorrectly loaded or incompatible with the ACE system.

  • Configuration errors during colour changes.

Solution:

  • Check that the filament is properly loaded and aligned in the ACE system.

  • Use RFID-compatible filaments for precise synchronisation.

  • Review your colour change settings in the slicer software and make sure they are correct.

Issue 4: Spaghetti Printing Failures

Cause:

  • Incorrect speed or temperature settings.

  • Improper belt tension.

Solution:

  • Adjust your print speed and make sure you are using the recommended values (300 mm/s is ideal for the Kobra 3 Combo).

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

  • Inspect the belts and re-tension them if necessary.

General Maintenance Tips

Regular Cleaning

  • Clean the hotend and print bed with isopropyl alcohol after each use to prevent residue build-up.

Belt and Motor Checks

  • Inspect the belts to make sure they are properly tensioned and aligned.

  • Lubricate the motors and moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
