Hub 6.0 · foundation before tuning

Printer Health Score

Check the mechanical, thermal, extrusion, first-layer and profile foundations that determine whether later tuning will work. This is a workshop baseline—not a replacement for manufacturer safety procedures.

Open diagnostic test bench Run print preflight

Current baseline

Complete the checks to calculate the baseline.

Motion and mechanics

Belts feel even and correctly tensionedGantry or Z system moves without bindingFasteners and wheels/rails have no obvious play

Build surface and first layer

Build surface is clean and undamagedMesh or leveling routine is currentZ offset produces a consistent first layer

Extrusion path

Filament path feeds smoothlyNozzle is clean and not visibly wornExtruder gear is clean and tension is appropriate

Temperature and cooling

Hotend temperature is stableBed temperature is stableHotend, part and electronics fans operate normally

Slicer and material profile

Correct printer profile is selectedMaterial is dry enough for useNozzle, layer height and material match the profile

Safety and monitoring

Wiring and connectors show no heat damagePrinter is on a stable surface with clear airflowLong prints can be monitored safely

What the free score gives you

A clear baseline and the next tool to use. It intentionally does not expose the complete premium history and intelligence layer.

Member unlock: multiple printer health histories, trend alerts, saved maintenance events, profile comparisons, community-proven baselines and full exportable reports.
