Tips to Troubleshoot Industrial FDM Printer Issues
Robust industrial fused deposition modelling (FDM) printers are built for heavyweight 3D printing and high accuracy. Problems that affect performance and output quality can happen to any complex machine, including FDM printers. Solving these problems systematically is the key to effective troubleshooting. This is a complete manual on how to fix common Industrial FDM printer errors in industrial setting. 1. Understanding the Basics To begin solving a problem, a good knowledge on the FDM printer parts and operations is essential. The extruder, hot end, build plate and filament spool are some of the major components that need to be considered. This makes it possible to identify such issues as faults during operation. 2. Common Issues and Solutions Print Quality Issues ● Layer Shifting: The deviation of the printing layers from their original positions may probably be attributed to loose belts, lack of motor current or physical barriers on the build platform. Confirm belt’s tightne
