Here at Polymaker we stand behind 100% of the products we sell, so any defective or bad spool we will be happy to replace. But before we do that, we would first ask that you check out our Printing Tips to see if the issue can be solved.
Common troubleshooting issues:
- PETG having layer adhesions - normally due to having an active cooling fan on or on too high.
- PolyMide nylons warping - this is normally due to setting the build plate temperature too high. Since we utilize our Warp Free Technology, you need to print our nylons with a build plate under 50°C. If the ambient air or build plate gets above 50°C, it can cause warping and other printing issues.
- Filament snapping too easily - this is often due to the filament absorbing too much moisture. If this is a brand new spool and you are having these issues, please email support@polymaker.com. If this is not a new spool, we would recommend drying the filament with the settings recommended on the relevant product page.
- Nylon is printing ugly - along with the point to keep the build plate below 50°C, we also need to make sure that you are keeping the nylon filament dry. Nylon is very hygroscopic, which means it can absorb too much moisture within a matter of hours being exposed to open air, which is especially true if you live in a humid climate. We suggest keeping your nylon in a heated filament dryer the entire time you print. While non heated dry boxes like the AMS are better than nothing, they may not be enough to keep your nylon properly dry, particularly during long prints.
