Errors
Spool covers the con-
nection for the filament
en
sensor (RJ45 socket).
Date / time is incorrectly
set.
The FMS system reports
a filament jam wrongly.
Object ist printed croo-
ked or incomplete.
File cannot be loaded
from the USB flash drive.
Poor adhesion between
the individual layers,
gaps in the layers.
Print object does not
adhere to the print bed.
Model printed at an in-
correct angle.
Misprints / side shift
Cause
• Spool too large�
• Backup battery of the clock is flat.
• The filament guiding tube (2, Fig. 1)
is rough on the inside and hinders
the material transport�
• The filament guiding tube has not
been completely pushed into the
aperture at the FMS or the extruder.
• The filament guiding tube (2, Fig. 1)
is rough on the inside and hinders
the material transport�
• Umlauts / special characters in the
file name.
• Not enough filament is fed.
• The gap between the nozzle and
the print bed is too large�
• Kapton film of the print bed is dirty.
• Model misaligned in CAD software.
The SIMPLEX sliceware is not the
cause�
SIMPLEX sliceware cannot influ-
ence the orientation of the model�
• Print bed was not repositioned cor-
rectly in the printer after removal
and repositioning� The latches on
the build plate were not correctly
closed� The print bed moved during
printing, thus impairing printing�
Corrective action
• Use a smaller spool. Use Renfert filament.
• Replace the backup battery (see Chap. 11.7).
• The filament guiding tube is a wearing part. Replace the
filament guiding tube.
• Check the correct assembly of the filament guiding tube
at the FMS and the extruder, see Chap. 4.2.3.
• The filament guiding tube is a wearing part. Replace the
filament guiding tube.
• Change the file name (no umlauts / special characters).
• Clean the cogwheel of the extruder.
• Unblock the extruder (see Chap. 11.3).
• Calibrate the print bed (bed leveling).
• Thoroughly clean the Kapton film with isopropyl alcohol.
• Review the situation in the CAD software� If necessary,
the orientation must be corrected in the CAD software
before the STL file is sliced a gain with the SIMPLEX
sliceware�
• Before printing, ensure that the print bed is installed cor-
rectly� The latch clasps must be closed to secure the print
bed�
