Troubleshooting

Q： How to upgrade the ﬁrmwares?

Insert the TF card into the card reader
Insert the card reader into the USB interface of the computer
Create a new folder named ﬁrmware in the TF card
Copy the xx.bin ﬁle into the "ﬁrmware" folder
Insert the TF card into the TF card socket of the machine
Restart the machine

Q： How to get the ﬁrmwares?

Enter the oﬃcial website < www.voxelab3dp.com and download them at the <Download Center>.

Q： What if the model warps or is unable to stick to the The build plate temperature is too low; increase its temperature accordingly；

Filament failed to adhere or bond to the build plate. Use glues to enhance the adhesion.
The distance between the build plate and the nozzle is too far,, or the build plate is not leveled enough; re-leveling the build plate accordingly.

Q： What if the accuracy othe f the model is not good?

Please ensure the normal status of the synchronous belt, neither loose nor tight.
Adjust the transmission ratio in the settings: turn up the transmission ratio if the size turns smaller,, and turn down the transmission ratio if the size turns larger.

Q：What if the screen turns dark?

Please check the wire of the screen and re-plug it；
Refresh the ﬁrmware to see if the screen can return to normal. Contact the after-sales personnel if not.

Q： What if the build plate cannot be heated?

Please check the digital display of the temperature. If the temperature e is improper, please replace the plate wires.
Otherwise, please replace the heating wires.

Q： What if the nozzle cannot be heated?

Please check the digital display of the temperature; if the temperature displayed is in error, replace the temperature sensor cable；
If the temperature is displayed normally, replace the heating cable.

Q： What if the axis cannot be moved?

Check the wire of the electric motor.
Contact us by email listed.

Q：What if the ﬁles on the TF card cannot be identiﬁed?

Clean and wipe the storage card
Format the storage card
Replace the storage card

Q：What if the ﬁles are garbled and cannot be read?

Change ﬁle name to English or numeric formats;
Format of your sliced ﬁles is not compatible;
Repair the model before slicing.

Q： What if the noise occurs for the return to zero device?

Check the return to zero sensor to see whether it has been knocked;
Check the lines and see whether the noises could stop if the sensor is pressed by hand.
Take the replacement method to check.

Q： Unable to resume printing after a power failure?

It might be caused by a diﬀerent TF card. Make sure you are using the same TF card before and after the power cut oﬀ.

Q： What if the oﬀset occurs on the ﬁnished model?

Check the tightness of the synchronous belt and ensure it is correctly installed.
Slice the model again
Reduce print speed or adjust the acceleration value.
Make sure the operating temperature doesn't exceed its assigned set-point temperature by 30℃.

Q： Damage occurs when turning on the 3D printer.

It might be caused by a dialing error from the switch power supply. Please check whether the voltage is set to the correct value. If the voltage is 110V and the power supply is 220V, damage will occur. Please select 110V/230V at the switch before powering on.

Q： Too much ﬁlament oozing?

Reduce print temperature by 5~10℃;
Increase traveling speed, or increase the retraction length and speed.

Q： No ﬁlament coming out during printing?

The arm force of the feeding structure might be too tight to allow the ﬁlament ut. Please adjust the arm force, neither too loose nor too tight.
Lower the retraction length to avoid any abrasion.
Check whether the extruder is clogged, and clean it with the needle if necessary.
