Troubleshooting
Something’s off.
Stringing or oozing
Nozzle too hot, or retraction too low
Drop nozzle 5 °C and/or bump retraction by 0.5 mm. Test on a retraction tower.
Layer adhesion is weak / parts split
Nozzle too cool or fan too aggressive on small layers
Raise nozzle 5 °C. Drop part-cooling fan to 60–80% on layers under 5 s.
First layer won’t stick
Bed level or Z-offset
Re-level / re-tram. Forgely Performance PLA sticks great to clean PEI at 60 °C with no glue needed.
Clicking extruder / under-extrusion
Partial clog or tension issue
Cold-pull the nozzle. Check extruder tension — PLA shouldn’t need max grip.
Brittle filament snapping on the spool
Moisture uptake (very rare on sealed Forgely spools)
Dry at 45 °C for 4 hours. Store with the silica pack in a sealed bag.
