Problem
Extruder head building off center.
PLA is not extruding or sticking to
the build tape properly.
Dremel 3D40 froze before my
object started.
Support material does not break
away during cleaning and results
in decreased quality of the final
object.
Spaghetti mess at end of build.
Part only built halfway.
No filament coming out.
Extruder will not home.
Stringy or fraying plastic layers on
steep overhangs.
3D40 will not find my Wi-Fi
network.
3D40 will not connect to my
network.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Cause
Dremel 3D40 has lost track of the
extruder head's exact location and
is failing to build.
This can be caused by the build
platform not being leveled with the
extruder head.
Dremel 3D40 may have received
conflicting commands.
Orientation of the part is not
optimized.
A layer of your object did not stick
properly, model was saved with
minimal surface area contacting the
build platform, or object was built
floating above the build platform
with no support selected.
Filament ran out.
Filament clogged during build.
Clogged extruder.
Object overhangs are too far apart
or too steep (<45 degree angle).
Printer too far from wireless router.
Printer too far from wireless router.
Network password incorrect.

Corrective Action
Sending the extruder head to the
home position will recalibrate the
Dremel 3D40. Cancel your object,
clear build platform, send the
extruder head to the home position,
and restart the object.
Leveling the build platform will align
the extruder head and ensure a
better object quality. Cancel your
object, clear build platform, level
the build platform, and restart the
object.
Turn power switch off, wait 30
seconds, and turn power switch on.
Reorient the position of the 3D
file in your file slicing software to
minimize the support material or
place the support material on a
non-critical surface.
Use your file slicing software
to see the first layer height and
position. Build with supports when
necessary.
Replace filament and resume build.
See "No filament coming out".
