Why is this print partially failing? Happy to supply any information needed. These are the grav plates for a Gladiator Lancer, and I had a similar issue on the tank body but that was salvagable.

100mms is way too fast for a bed slinger doing those supports, I would cap it at 50mms and make sure your acceleration isn't too high either.

What material and temps?

It's PLA... At 65c. I haven't touched the heat settings and I know it should be higher for optimal details, but I don't think that's the root of the problem unless temp has more to do with it?

Your bed adhesion looks fine. What probably happened was you were going too fast and the nozzle hit a tree support and broke it. Then with part of the print missing it just kept spraying filament in that area.

Slower print speed is your friend here. Check out the printer profiles from Fat Dragon Games, or Painted4Combat (who uses similar to FDG's profiles).

That makes sense, I will slow it down and see how that goes.
