Overheating occurs when layers of a print are exposed to excessive heat, causing sagging, drooping, or loss of detail, especially on small or intricate features. This is often caused by high nozzle temperatures, insufficient cooling, or slow print speeds.
To solve this, try lowering the nozzle temperature to the optimal range for your filament. Ensure the cooling fan is functioning properly and increase fan speed for better layer cooling. Printing at a slightly faster speed can also reduce heat exposure on small parts. If the issue persists, using features like a “cooling tower” in your slicer can help stabilize temperatures on smaller prints.
