This video literally changed my whole printing life. It is so nice to see someone that understands the fundamentals be able to explain not only how to fix errors but why these errors are occurring. I'd love more deep dives into one specific kind of error, an even deeper explanation of the mechanics behind them and the various ways it can manifest. You're amazing!

This video helped me solve my printing woes. I had exactly one of the examples given - and the levelling files helped me fixed the levelling issue. Fantastic.

Great diagnosis video, feel like a bit more of a focus on what to do to fix the problems could be helpful. Thanks

A big one is holding the build plate by the build plate itself when you are taking prints off the build plate. If you hold the build plate by the piece that connects to the printer arm, this will put your build plate out of level every time due to the pressure you put on it when removing prints. Took me to long too realize that but now I can't print over and over again without print failures. So hold your build plate by the plate and not the arm connection.

This was so incredibly useful. I've been printing for years and in general I know how to solve most problems I've had but I've been banging my head against my Mars 4 for days with a string of failed prints and you said something in this that made me understand what is actually happening that was very helpful!

Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on issues and how to fix them! 👏

@kayprins6779 1 year ago

Lol, comming from FDM printing, my first instinct with failure is always level the bed 😆 it solved it normally, but I love how you explain and give reasons and options, thank you!

So much great information!!!
Thank you very much, from a noob perspective, it's so hard to troubleshoot with the sea of information online and many of the things you said make a lot of sense.
