• Build Plate Not Reading Correct Temperature
• Built Up Material in Nozzle
• Extruder Stepper Skipping
• Filament Snapping
• Hotend Can’t Reach or Maintain Temperature
• Hotend Not Heating
• Hotend Not Reading Correct Temperature
• Layer Shifts
• LCD Blank or Dark
• Model Errors
• Not Finding Home
• Nozzle Clogs
• Over Extrusion
• Parts Not Mating Together
• Print Pauses Mid Print
• Running Out of Filament
• Settings Issues
• Stepper Motors Overheating or Malfunctioning
• Stripped Filament
• Unlevelled Build Plate
