This document guides you through potential issues you might encounter during the printing process and their corresponding solutions.
¶ 1. Common Printing Issues
- Poor first layer printing
- Under-extrusion
- Over-extrusion
- Printing VFA
¶ 2. Common Problem Solutions
¶ 2.1 Poor First Layer Printing
-
Please check if the extruder lever is placed in the correct position.
-
Check the bedmesh results to see the extent of the deformation.
-
Try adjusting the z_offset value, refer to this link:
https://wiki.peopoly.net/en/magneto/magneto-x/guide-to-adjust-z-offset-value -
Check if solid glue is applied.
¶ 2.2 Under-extrusion
Please refer to this link to understand the basic structure affecting the extruder:
https://wiki.peopoly.net/en/magneto/magneto-x/magneto-x-extruder-operation-guide
-
Please check if the extruder lever is placed in the correct position.
-
Check if the extruder screws are loose.
Please refer this link to uninstall the extruder first:

Check whether the screws pointed by the arrows below are loose
- Check if the extruder tension spring is adjusted properly.
As shown in the image below, tighten the screws until they are flush with the outer surface.
¶ 2.3 Over-extrusion
- Check if the printing temperature is appropriate; excessively high printing temperatures can cause severe over-extrusion.
- Reduce the Flow Ratio parameter in the slicing settings and perform flow calibration.
¶ 2.4 Severe VFA
-
Increase the speed appropriately; VFA will decrease at speeds above 150mm/s.
ps: The actual printing speed you set cannot be lower than 150mm/s
-
Calibrate the motor, refer to this document:

Adjust the encoder position (Y axis), refer to this document:
