General guides help identify print defects. Follow the manual for your exact model and variant for disassembly, maintenance and calibration.

• First layer not sticking: causes and checks

  How to recognise a first layer that is too high, too squished or uneven and fix it in order: plate cleaning, slicer profile, leveling, Z offset. Based on official guidance from Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Elegoo and Anycubic.

• Warping: corners lifting off the bed with ABS, ASA, PETG and PLA

  Why corners curl and how to reduce it: plate cleaning, drafts, enclosure, bed temperature, brim and ears, cooling and glue. Based on official guidance from Bambu Lab and Prusa and on user experience.

• Clogged nozzle and under-extrusion: find where the blockage is and fix it

  How to tell a blockage in the PTFE tube, the extruder or the hotend apart, when to use the needle and cold pull, how to recognise heat creep, and when replacing the nozzle, PTFE tube or gears is actually justified.

• Wet filament: recognise it, dry it and store it

  Symptoms of filament that has absorbed moisture, the most sensitive materials, how to dry following Bambu Lab and Prusa official tables without damaging spool or filament, and how to keep it dry.

• Stringing and oozing: how to get rid of filament strings and blobs

  How to recognise stringing and oozing, the main causes (wet filament, temperature, retraction, travel moves, nozzle) and the checks to do in order, with official guidance from Prusa, Bambu Lab, Creality and Elegoo.

• Layer shifting: causes and checks in order

  Why layers shift along X or Y and how to find the cause: obstructions, collisions with curled parts, belts, pulleys, speed, electronics cooling and motors, with official guidance from Prusa, Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo and Anycubic.

• Ringing and ghosting: getting rid of ripples on FDM print walls

  What ringing (or ghosting) is, why it appears after corners and lettering, and how to fix it in order: printer surface, loose parts, belts, lubrication, vibration calibration (input shaping), speed and acceleration.

• Layers separating or cracking (delamination): causes and checks

  How to recognise delamination, the main causes (temperature too low, too much cooling, draughts, insufficient flow, layers too tall) and the checks to do in order, with guidance from Prusa, Bambu Lab and Creality.

• Elephant's foot: the base of the part is wider than the layers above

  Why the first layer spreads out (elephant's foot), how to measure it and how to correct it with slicer compensation, the first layer and the bed temperature, with guidance from Prusa, Bambu Lab and Anycubic.

• Overhangs and bridges that sag or curl: cooling, speed and supports

  Why overhangs and bridges curl, droop or sag and what to adjust in the slicer (fan, overhang speed, temperature, layer height, supports), with guidance from Prusa and Bambu Lab.

• Seams and zits on walls: where the seam comes from and how to make it less visible

  Why a vertical line or a scattering of dots (zits) appears on every wall, how to choose the seam position in the slicer, when to use scarf seams and what to check in flow, pressure advance and wet filament, with guidance from Prusa and Bambu Lab.

• Holes and dips in the top surface (pillowing): top layers, infill and cooling

  Why the top face of parts ends up full of holes, rough or bulging (pillowing) and what to adjust in the slicer: number of top layers, infill, cooling and flow, with guidance from Prusa.
