It's normal for these machines to have issues from time to time. Nozzles can get clogged, objects can get stuck to the beds. We are aware of these issues and know what to do when they occur. If you have issues with the machine, please contact Mr. Hamlin, Ms. Simmons (Tech Services) or Mr. Pimlott and we will help you out.
