Problem
Extruder head building off center.
PLA is not extruding or sticking to the
build tape properly.
Dremel 3D40 FLEX 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 FLEX will not find my Wi-Fi
network.
3D40 FLEX will not connect to my
network.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Cause
Dremel 3D40 FLEX 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 FLEX 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 FLEX. 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".
