Q: GratKit cardboard spool separate after drying
A:
This is a common problem with the cardboard spool. For the PLA, we suggest you set the temperature to 45C[Drying Box]. High temperatures [Over 50C] will decrease the GratKit cardboard spool glue performance. If you are using the drying box, depart usually will happen when it just finished drying and you take the filament out at the same time.
You can waiting it to cool down then you can avoid this problem.[For PLA, 10mins is ok]
We have found this problem. Will try to do more tests for this problem and then fix it.

Q: Filament isn't sticking to my bed
A1: Clean the bed with IPA or dish soap + hot water, refer to the leveling infograph (?leveling) to check if you have the right distance, make sure your bed is heated for the right filament, and last resort use an adhesion booster like glue stick.
A2: Refer to this pic then level your bed.
A3: If this problem happened after a few months of use.
You can refer to this pic. The nozzle hit by the bed then it looks like this:
The solution is to replace the nozzle.
A4: Check your cooling fan setting
If you set the cooling fan speed at 100% at the first layer then it will cause it under extrusion
We suggest you open the cooling fan after 3 layers later
Q: My bed seems warped?
A: Get in touch with the manufacturer for a replacement bed, quick fix would be to shim the bed with tape until the gap is effectively gone. Installing ABL or enabling manual mesh leveling can mitigate the effects of a warped bed.
Q: My prints seem to suffer from banding?
A: Check the leadscrew and see if it is binding, bent, or the nut it rests in is overtightened.
