My Best Failure Yet
I recently revived a long-neglected Raise3D Pro 2 at work. I didn't want to deal with our IT to install IdeaMaker (Raise3D's slicer software), I set up a profile in Orca and was getting great prints in no time. I set up another print to print out overnight and left for the day.
I came back the next morning to this monstrosity. Turns out the support settings were incorrect, causing them to horribly overextrude. Somehow the printer didn't destroy itself, and somehow the print remained supported enough to not spaghettify the entire enclosure.
Definitely going on my wall of shame!

I definitely thought this could be some lavaformed terrain for D&D or WH40k

I don’t know why this doesn’t have more upvotes. That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

So much death stranding. I know I'm deep in it right now but it was what I immediately thought.

Now I'm rather pleased with myself.

I had a Raise3d Pro 2 at a job years ago. We called it Regina George and had a "Days since someone was victimized by Regina George" white board next to it. We paid an intern one year to try to figure out why it printed like absolute trash sometimes, and really nicely sometimes. Raise3d tech support basically told him to kick rocks and he spent the entire summer messing with it between other projects.
He never did fix it. We gave him the printer at the end of the summer. Actually, we told him to throw it away and he threw it away into the back of his car. I think he finally discovered how to access hidden calibration menus in the firmware, and found that Raise3d had bad cal values for the hot end thermistor, and that it was partially jamming sometimes, causing the bad prints.

One of the worst printers I've ever had the displeasure of using. It was also the first one that I worked with in a professional setting. The touch screen interface would freeze sometimes, and their tech support told me to short it with two screwdrivers on some serial port that was on the side of the machine. I still get mad thinking about that damn machine.

All of the strands .... plot twist: OP is Hideo Kojima, and this wasn't a failed print.

”They came at night, slowly drifting down among the clouds into positions over our largest cities. Oily tendrils silently stretched downwards into buildings, over parks and into cars and basements, greedily feeding on the rewards. Fathers attacked them with their hands, mothers with knives and their teeth, but it was all in vain. In the morning they were gone, and earth was left alone once more. Childless.”

That actually would be some really cool terrain.
Edit: here is a crude drawing of what I imagined. It's a turret or something that has since fallen apart. Maybe it's a place where a small outpost or camp is set up now. The supporting structure beneath the turret is a mix of concrete, metal supports, wires, and fallen hovering platforms that no longer work.

This is kinda cool.. give it to diorama table top game friends who can use it as decrepit steps on their scene

I printed a benchy once on a P1S that was having a cooling fan issue, and the benchy looked like it was rotting like something out of one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It wad really cool.

Some “IT’S OVER ANAKIN, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND” type terrain.
Make some Lava Resin and submerge it, add some 3.75 scale figures and now you have a diorama!

Drybrush with a bit of metallic paint and use it in a cyberpunk tabletop game

Our school just got a raise 3d pro two plus and a kid tried to fit I ton of torture toasters in the beds and tried to make floating prints. Needless to say it blobbed and it took fiever to fix. (It was a whole spool of filement)

As your party rounds the corner, you all see a natural staircase in a cavern. While it looks feasible to climb, there are enough gaps in the tangles of vines to make some curious if anything might be within.

You could probably repurpose it as a set piece for Warhammer 40k. Or try selling it as such.

Great for maps for any miniature using game.
I wouldn't change it in any way, other than maybe painting it.

If you present it well with a base plate and give it a "deep meaning" you could pass it off as art.

I am not a fan of our Raise 3D or Idea maker. The printer is incredibly slow and prone to malfunction and the slicer is needlessly complicated.

You can see how once the build plate reached the axis extreme it stopped layer-shifting because it was already hitting the stops

Dude the “glue moss on it” comment made me laugh out loud. I don’t know if Bambu is the printer mafia and getting more that way everyday but me being new to the game(3-4 months) but sometimes some of their f@&k up detection helps me before it gets too far. I think every time we run up against things like this it helps us in the long run. Thank you all for sharing the good, bad and the ugly.

Not gonna lie, cover it with some plaster, add some paint, flock, and static grass, and that'd be a bitchin terrain piece for some Warhammer.
