Error Report

Tool Head error

hot end error
This is a hotend error.

Please replace the hot end with another hotend to check if this error occurs as well.

If the other hot end is normal, just contact the after-sales service to send a new hot end.

If the error occurs on both hot ends, then the adapter board may be damaged, and you need to contact the after-sales service to send a new adapter board.

lost communication
1. It may be caused by overheating of the adapter plate

2. It may be caused by the static electricity problem of type c cable.

3. Problems caused by models.

Most cases of this error are caused by static electricity problems, which can be solved by replacing the type-c cable.

timer too close
If you encounter this error, please update the firmware to the latest. (The USB drive that came with the printer is not compatible with the previous firmware.)

If the error persists after updating the firmware, please contact after-sales support.

unable to connect
1. Please re-plug the Type C cable on the adapter board and motherboard. (Maybe the type-c cable isn’t plugged in properly.)
