Recently, the 3D handle has gained great popularity among artists and designers, allowing you to reveal their creative potential fully. However, it is also impossible to forget that this is a very fragile device with which it is worth it gently. Nevertheless, even with breakdowns, you should not immediately go to the master, since the 3D handle most often can be fixed with your own hands. For information on how to do this, and will be discussed in the article.
What if the handle does not turn on?
Most often, people just bought a 3D handle complain that the device simply does not work, and its indicators do not light up. This problem may be a consequence of technical faults or simply improper use of the device. Often the main source of the problem is that the power cable is poorly connected to the 3D handle. And also before starting work, you need to make sure that the display is turned on and is in complete service.
But There are some models that work directly when connected to a USB cable That is much more convenient, because now it is not necessary to constantly stand next to the outlet, because the handle can work from external batteries. It saves time and nerves, it allows you to work even outside the house. Nevertheless, it should make sure that the handle refers specifically to this model. Otherwise, it will require connecting to the outlet.
If the connection goes normally, then you need to make sure that the handle gets so much voltage and current as it needs. For most handles, these indicators are equal to 5V and 2A.
Before connecting the device, you need to check whether the power supply can provide the desired current and voltage strength. Otherwise, a 3D handle will not get enough energy, and it will not work properly.
The same applies to the connection of the handle to the computer or to any other electronic device. If it does not have enough energy, then the handle will not be able to work correctly.
If the energy source has the required capacity, and all the device itself may not want to run, you should try to use other ways to charge the device. These include a USB adapter, power supply and others. Before hitting the alarm, and carry the handle to a specialist, you need to try all the options, because this handle model can only be connected to one power source.
If all the ways were tried, and the device did not turn on, then you should either contact the master, or fix the handle yourself. You can do it at home, most importantly, follow the instructions. Most often, the problem lies in the fact that plastic simply cannot get out of the nozzle, and it must be cleaned. It is done quite simple.
First you need to disassemble the device, namely: unscrew the screw, holding the block that is responsible for the supply of plastic, and then remove it. The block is neatly removed, after which the guide tube is removed. The terminals of this block are then connected again, and the knob itself starts in a disassembled form. As soon as the handle is sufficient enough, the plastic is supplied to the nozzle. Finally, the handle must be collected again and try. As a rule, with such a cleaning, most technical problems associated with the operation of the 3D handle are solved.
The device is not heated
Another common problem is cases when the handle ceases to heat up. Often, the main reason is the forgetfulness of the people who use 3D handles themselves.
It must be remembered that before spending heating, you must need to turn on the feed button. For many, this will seem to see for themselves, but often the majority of problem situations arise precisely because of this.
However, it happens that the feed button was pressed, but the temperature value itself remains unchanged. The problem may be in the fault of the temperature sensors. In this case, most of the handle displays displays an error. To solve this problem, it is enough to change the nozzle of the device.
It happens that such that The handle itself is heated as it should, but during the subsequent use of the flow button, the temperature drops sharply. Often this happens because of the fault of some devices inside the handle. If the problem lies precisely in this, then only the replacement of the motherboard and the engine will help. If this is not possible, then it is necessary to attribute it to a 3D handle repair specialist.
Not delayed and does not squeeze plastic
To load plastic into the device, you need to make sure that all this happens at the highest speed. The device must be attached, and the plastic must fully enter the handle.
If in the course of further work plastic reached the nozzle, but there is no feed, then in this case you need to immediately disable the device, and remove the content. During melting plastic, small thickens may form on it, due to which the handle will not load plastic. He will just freeze inside. From such thickening you need to get rid of.
Before loading plastic you need to check if the tip of the thread is normal. It must be perpendicular. If the end is melted, then it is impossible to insert it in any case, because the nozzle simply clogs.
How the melting process is also depends on the plastic brand. Each of them melts at different temperatures. This must be taken into account before starting work. It is advisable to learn this information before buying plastic so that then there were no problems with it.
If the smoke appears during melting, the temperature exceeded the available maximum, and if the thread is too wide, and it squeezes very reluctantly, then the temperature, on the contrary, is small.
It is impossible that the plastic fully occupied the entire space of the 3D handle. The tip of the thread should remain at a distance of one centimeter so that at any time it was possible to pull it out. Most of the handles are equipped with a tube, with which plastic moves inside. If the tip of the thread turns out to be too deep, it can easily get stuck, which will lead to breakage. In this case, the device should be repaired. You can do it with your own hands, the main thing is to disassemble the device, and remove the thread. However, not all devices are dispersed, and in such cases you need to contact the master.
Prevention measures
To avoid the problems listed above, it suffices to comply with security measures and correctly handle the device. So, after 30 minutes of operation, the handle must be allowed to cool. If the housing of the mechanism overheated, then it is necessary to stop working and take a break. When overheating plastic can change the shape, which will lead to a complete breakdown. And the workplace should remain full of purity.
