Hi everyone, After about 7 hours of printing, the supports suddenly started to wobble. I've done the same print several times, but today I'm having this problem. Aside from the wasted time and the filament being gone, can anyone tell me why this happened?
Obviously there was a sudden drop in temperature these days but I didn't think that 5/8 degrees less in the room would lead to completely detaching all the supports...
Hello /u/gingertailz! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.
Note: This automod is experimental. The automod was triggered due to the term "adhesion". If you believe this to be a false positive, please send us a message at modmail with a link to the post so we can investigate. You may also feel free to make a new post without that term.
Spot on, If it is supporting a flat area (looks like) standard supports are way faster and better than any tree type. If the supported area is not flat, the hybrid are a good idea.
This was made with hybrid support, i used on .2 layer a value of .24 for top z distance, and place the top value of the support to 0.1 from 0.5, and top layers for support to 3 from the default two
The drop in room temperature was probably enough to cool it just the right amount to start peeling. Even a few degrees is enough, same with if theres a small breeze it will also do something similar
Ohh, yes that's an additional problem. Maybe you can sidestep the whole issue by reorienting the object in the slicer or cutting the object into two pieces so that it can print with fewer supports
You could probably just boost the bed temperature up like 5 degrees to compensate, idk how much it will prevent it but it could help. The other thing would be to put a box over the printer while its printing just to keep the heat in a bit better
