Printer Diagnostic Dice

thingiverse

Printer just won't cooperate and you're stumped about why? These dice are here to help. Make sure you print them now before issues arise, or they won't be of much use. Here's how it works: Roll the dice, flip the coin - that's all there is to it. One die will identify where your issue lies (you might think you know, but these dice are smarter). Another die will tell you what needs changing to fix it. The coin will indicate whether to increase or decrease a setting. What's on the dice: Problems: 1. First layer issue 2. Nozzle clogged 3. Stringing problem 4. Overhang failure 5. Z-axis wobble 6. Ringing sound Solutions: 1. Bed leveling adjustment 2. Print speed modification 3. Nozzle temperature tweak 4. Bed temperature change 5. Fan speed adjustment 6. Consider buying a new printer Examples: Bad first layer? Try increasing nozzle temp. Stringing issue? Decrease bed level. These dice work for any single-color printer. If you have a multi-color one, I've included inlay files - feel free to use them and leave a comment if they work for you (or don't).
