Known Issues

Warping and corner lift

Cause: Uneven cooling on a non-enclosed printer

Fix: Use an enclosure, raise bed temp to 105-110°C, add a brim

Cracking between layers

Cause: Cool drafts during print or fan too high

Fix: Disable part cooling fan and seal the enclosure to keep heat in

Toxic fumes

Cause: Styrene released during printing

Fix: Print in a ventilated space or vented enclosure - never sleep near it
