The only problem that I'm having is that the hotend is not getting hot enough to start printing with PLA (180 to 230 degrees celsius), the hotend getting hotter stops... | <p>Usually, this kind of problem is due to an issue with the control loop of the temperature. You can try to do <a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/PID_Tuning" rel="noreferrer">PID Tuning</a> by running the command <code>M303 E0 S200 C8</code>. This will heat up the hot end and cycle it around 200C a few times, and afterwa... |

<p>I have built a RepRap Prusa i2 a while back. It worked for a while, but then I moved the printer from place to place and after a while I noticed that the printer's bed is not heating anymore. The thermistor shows ... | <h1>diagnosing a heated bed</h1>
<p>Switch the hot end and the heater bed wires on the board. See if there is a difference. (Note that it will not reach a thermal limit when plugged in this way! So don't leave it on too long!)</p>
<p>After that, if you see that your heat increases with the hot end's wires and the hot e... |

<p>So, I'm having this problem where almost anything I print with a section(s) that is not directly connected to something below it breaks when I try to pull the small filaments meant to hold it up during printing of... | <p>The small filaments you remove that hold the parts up are called supports. The one model I located on Thingiverse clearly requires a number of supports, as the model is not easily designed for 3d printing with FDM printers. It would be better printed with SLS, but that's not the focus of your question.</p>

<p>That co... | <p>You need a certain minimum flow rate to achieve consistent extrusion. Flow rate is the product of print speed, extrusion width (proportional to nozzle size) and print speed. If you use a very small nozzle and very low layer height, you'd need a very high printing speed to achieve a reasonable flow rate. Therefore, i... |
