The CraftBot is still attempting to print but has stopped extruding in the middle of my object.

, , , , , ,

This is one of those “most inconvenient” situations that can come up at times during 3D printing.  But don’t worry, there is most likely an easy solution to your problem.   Did you run out of filament? is the filament caught up in the extruder gear? Check out the section on Grinding. You may have […]

My Infill (the cross pattern inside my printed object) is a bit weak

Your infill should more-often-than-not not be weak, and the biggest reason for this would be an overall failure to extrude properly; the necessary steps should be taken from the other help sections on how to clean out your extruder or you should make sure that your settings and amount extruded are proper for the nozzle […]

If you are using a CraftBot then you should not get terrible shifting problems. However, it is not impossible to see this, and if so, it may be a sign of a mechanical fault which hopefully can be easily remedied.  But first, we will check and see if another simple printing error is responsible, how […]
