GUIDES,TIPS & SOLUTIONS

 

A

POWER ON

+ The green indicator light does not turn on

Make sure the 120 VAC cable is securely connected to the wall outlet and the power supply

  • Try another wall outlet
  • It is unlikely, but maybe the power supply is blown, please contact us by email

+ The printer's LCD screen does not turn on

  • Make sure the power supply (24 VDC) is securely connected to the printer

  • Make sure the printer power switch is flipped to the ON (|) position

+ Printer menu does not display ULIO 3D BRIX Ready

  • Please contact us by email
 

B

hotend movement on the X axis

+ The X-axis rack does not move at all

  • Make sure the X-axis connector is securely plugged into the X-motor
  • It's unlikely, but it could be that the X-axis gear is slipping on the motor shaft
  • It is unlikely, but it is possible that the X motor is defective, please contact us by email

+ The X-axis rack moves once and then stops moving

  • Zeroing initiation was not performed correctly
    • Redo the X axis zeroing
    • Make sure the X-axis limit switch connector is plugged in
    • It is unlikely but maybe the limit switch is faulty, please contact us by email

+ The X-axis rack moves with difficulty

  • Make sure you have added a thin layer of lubricant
  • Make sure the bricks are laid correctly

+ The X-axis rack is not heading in the right direction

  • Contact us by email

+ The X-axis rack is moving in the correct direction but cannot reach the X limit switch

  • Disable the X motor:
    • Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Motion → Disable Steppers
  • Try manually moving the X-axis rack and check if it can reach the limit switch (you should hear a click) otherwise:
    • Contact us by email

+ The X-axis rack reaches the limit switch but the X motor continues to rotate

  • Make sure the X-axis limit switch connector is securely plugged in
  • It is unlikely but maybe the limit switch is faulty, please contact us by email
 

C

movement of the print bed on the Y axis

+ The Y-axis rack does not move at all

  • Make sure the Y-axis connector is securely plugged into the Y-motor
  • It's unlikely, but it could be that the Y-axis gear is slipping on the motor shaft
  • It is unlikely, but it is possible that the Y motor is defective, please contact us by email

+ The Y-axis rack moves once and then stops moving

  • Zeroing initiation was not performed correctly
    • Redo the Y axis zeroing
    • Make sure the Y-axis limit switch connector is plugged in
    • It is unlikely, but it could be that the limit switch is faulty, please contact us by email

+ The Y-axis rack moves with difficulty

  • Make sure you have added a thin layer of lubricant
  • Make sure the bricks are laid correctly

+ The Y-axis rack is not heading in the right direction

  • Make sure you have installed the print bed in the correct orientation (refer to the manual).

+ The Y-axis rack is moving in the correct direction but cannot reach the Y limit switch

  • Disable the Y motor:
    • Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Motion → Disable Steppers
  • Try manually moving the Y-axis rack and check if it can reach the limit switch (you should hear a click) otherwise:
    • Contact us by email

+ The Y-axis rack reaches the limit switch but the Y motor continues to rotate

  • Make sure the Y-axis limit switch connector is securely plugged in
  • It is unlikely, but it could be that the limit switch is faulty, please contact us by email
 

D

movement of the print bed on the Z axis

(This step is very important)

+ The Z-axis rack cannot reach the limit switch and you hear clicking noises

  • Click here to proceed to the troubleshooting section

+ The Z-axis rack does not move at all

  • Make sure the Z-axis connector is securely plugged into the Z-motor
  • It's unlikely but maybe the Z axis gear is slipping on the motor shaft
  • It is unlikely but maybe the Z motor is defective, please contact us by email

+ The Z-axis rack is not heading in the right direction

  • Make sure you have installed the Z-axis rack in the correct direction (refer to the manual)

+ The Z-axis rack moves once and then stops moving

* Redo the Z axis zeroing

+ The Z-axis rack is moving in the correct direction but cannot reach the Z limit switch

  • Disable the Z motor:
    • Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Motion → Disable Steppers
  • Try manually moving the Z-axis rack and check if it can reach the limit switch (you should hear a click) otherwise:
    • Repeat adjusting the distance between the hot nozzle and the center of the print bed

+ The Z-axis rack reaches the limit switch but the Z motor continues to rotate

  • Make sure the Z-axis limit switch connector is securely plugged in
  • It is unlikely but maybe the limit switch is faulty, please contact us by email

Hotend cooling fan (30 mm)

The front fan starts automatically when the 3D printer is turned on

  • If the fan does not start, turn off the printer and contact us by email

End of this section, go to step F

 

F

Microcontroller Cooling Fan (40mm)

The case fan starts automatically when the 3D printer is turned on

  • If the fan does not start, turn off the printer and contact us by email

End of this section, go to step G

 

G

Side cooling fan (40 mm)

Activate the side fan switch:

Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Temperature → Fan Speed ​​1 → 100% → Click the yellow button again to initiate the command.

  • If the fan does not start, turn off the printer and contact us by email

End of this section, go to step H

HOTend

Activate the hotend heating block:

  • Before activating the hotende heating block, the main menu should display the approximate room temperature.

    • If the temperature displayed on the main menu is abnormal (por example 15°C) , turn off the printer and contact us by email

  • Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Temperature → Nozzle → Adjust the temperature to 215°C → Click the yellow button again to initiate the command

    • Wait 20 seconds and the hot nozzle temperature should be displayed on the main menu

      • If the hot nozzle temperature does not increase to the set point, turn off the printer and contact us by email

      • If ever the hot nozzle temperature fluctuates sporadically, turn off the printer and contact us by email

Important:

Once finished, deactivate the heating block:

  • Click the yellow button on the microcontroller → Temperature → Nozzle → Adjust the temperature to 0°C → Click the yellow button again to initiate the command

  • Never touch the tip of the hot nozzle with your fingers, as it is very hot!

End of this section, go to step I

Loading / Unloading Filament

+ The extruder does not turn at all

  • Make sure the hot nozzle temperature is at least 180°C
  • Make sure the extruder connector is securely plugged into the motor
  • It is unlikely, but it may be that the extruder motor is faulty, please contact us by email

+ The extruder does not rotate counterclockwise

  • This is unlikely, please contact us by email

+ The motor shaft turns but not the toothed gear

  • It's unlikely, but make sure the toothed gear adjustment screw is tight on the flat side of the motor else:
  • Contact us by email

+ The filament comes out curling

  • You have an extrusion problem (probably a partially clogged nozzle) please contact us by email
