Troubleshooting

Here are all the standard procedures for unclogging nozzles, in order of difficulty/invasiveness.

PID is the control algorithm the printers use for holding temperature. The parameters for this algorithm control how fast the printer reaches the set temperature, and how well it holds that temperature once it gets there. Fortunately, the printer has an automatic way of tuning these values.

There are a lot of reasons a printer could have trouble getting to or staying at the right temperature. Here is a breakdown of the possible scenarios and their solutions.
