Illustrative comparison of layer separation with a clean horizontal crack and missing layers caused by under-extrusion

Educational technical illustration for a 3D printing troubleshooting website. Compare two FDM print defects side by side: left shows clean layer separation/delamination with a visible horizontal crack between otherwise present layers; right shows missing sparse layers caused by under-extrusion. Clean engineering infographic style, warm off-white background, black and graphite print samples, subtle purple and yellow accents, no text, no logos, no brands, clearly illustrative.

How FilamentFix builds this guide

Diagnosis first. Manufacturer data when available. Alternative causes stay visible. Important technical values are sourced or clearly marked as unverified.
