The system automatically checks your models and detects all the problems that might influence printing. The detected printability issues are shown in the Printability issues section when you press Print to send the job to the printer. When printability issues are detected, the Send Job to Printer button is deactivated and the job cannot be sent to the printer.
The detected issues are marked either yellow or red:
- Yellow indicates non-critical errors. In this case, printing is possible however not recommended.
- Red indicates critical errors.
| Issue | Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Model is set beyond the platform boundaries | red |
If models are outside the platform, rearrange these models manually:
If not all the models fit on the platform, reduce the number of models by deleting them. |
| The model has no supports | yellow |
If models have overhanging parts and do not have supports, printing is not possible. Select Fix to fix this issue automatically. |
| Intersection | yellow | Some of the models intersect with each other. Use automatic placement to set the models on the platform correctly. |
| Model is not watertight | yellow | Some models might have an open contour. This may cause issues during printing. Selecting the Fix option will delete the not watertight models. |
| Model is not healed | yellow |
Some models might have the mesh unhealed. This may cause issues during printing. Select Fix to fix this issue automatically. |
To fix the detected issues, press Fix or Fix All Issues.

Important: In some cases, the printability issues cannot be fixed automatically, thus printing will remain blocked. In this case please refer to Troubleshooting.
