Diagnostic tree: find your failure by symptom
Describe what you see — it lifted, there are strings, layers are missing, it shifted — and it takes you to the problem entry with causes and fixes ordered by effort.

Diagnostic tree
Indicative estimate. Real consumption depends on your slicer, your machine and your settings.
How it is calculated
Formula
coincidencia(problema, respuestas) = Σ_respuesta peso_sintoma(problema, respuesta), con peso 2 cuando la respuesta es un síntoma primario del problema, 1 cuando es un alias o síntoma secundario y −2 cuando el problema queda descartado por tecnología (FDM frente a resina). Se muestran los problemas con coincidencia > 0, ordenados de mayor a menor, y las correcciones dentro de cada uno se ordenan por esfuerzo: fácil, medio, difícil.Assumptions
- The user knows whether their printer is filament or resin; that is the first branch and rules out half the tree.
- One symptom can belong to several problems: the tree returns a list, not a single diagnosis.
- Fixes are sorted by effort because it is almost always worth trying the cheap thing before dismantling the extruder.
- Search aliases include the English term because both are used in Mexico.
Limitations
- It cannot see your part: it works from your description, and a wrong description gives a wrong diagnosis.
- It does not cover electrical, firmware or mainboard failures; those need the manufacturer's support.
- Cases where two failures combine (moisture plus under-extrusion, say) are detected poorly.
- It does not replace your specific model's documentation, which may prescribe its own procedures.
