So, burned through most of the filament we got for Child.1's birthday. Until we have a chance to order some more, I remembered I had a 2 kg spool from the last time I tried to get into 3D printing and failed.

It's been sitting in my basement for... ten years or so.

But Child.1 also got a filament drier and wanted to try it out.

But the 2 kg spool didn't fit, so we wound some of it onto the 250 g spool... by hand. Then we put it into the drier and turned it on. Child.1 was happy how hot it got and was annoying it was going to take ten hours to finish.

About an hour into it, there was a loud crack as the spool of filament didn't quite explode but the entire spool did break itself into 3-10 cm long segments and turn itself into a porcupine. As we picked it up, chunks started slipping off into a carpet of white strips of plastic.

... I'm going to buy a proper spool of filament that isn't old enough to go to grade school.

When I went to print the b-side z drives I ran into heat creep.

I had a bunch of successful prints through this (kilos of ASA) and had already printed nine or so hours of ASA earlier in the day.

I’m running a Xol mod with a cutter and the PTFE lengths weren’t specified so I estimated.

But it looks like I shorted myself on my PTFE just a bit and it ended up sliding back 1.5mm, apparently enough to creep and stop things up.

Edit: on closer inspection it also looks like I used the wrong inner diameter PTFE… I’m surprised it worked as well as it did.

Attached: 1 image Most people don’t like to share when their #3dPrinting efforts go wrong. Most of the time there is something to be learned from failed prints though. Two issues with this one in particular. Some of the walls are too thin. This can be corrected in the model geometry and re-rendering. That’s not the primary problem though. The magnets I put into the print are just way too strong and are tearing apart the print. Not only parallel to the layer lines. The choice of filament also isn’t ideal.

Here’s a new one for me.

My PETG spool wasn’t bound but was cooled improperly such that the filament was adhered to itself and broke, triggering a filament run out…three times… in a 40 minute print.

#Paramount3D disappointing me again. I’m glad I have some #Ambrosia materials coming for testing.

LOVE these 3D printing fails from 2013 😂

This is a new one for me.

I ran a successful race track and turned up my VF to a number I thought was reasonable and ran a print.

I’m running Polylite PETG and had some spool lifting in the AMS that bound it up but I cleared that and restarted the print only to come back to the printer shredding its own print, spraying little bits of PETG everywhere.

Not sure if it’s the filament feeding or the VF that wrecked it, will have to try again tomorrow.

10mm was working until I canceled the print because I lost bed adhesion.

First print of the new year. Off to a good start.

Don’t forget to turn off minimum layer times in your slicer otherwise you may think you have invented some way to do pressure advance invariant PLA printing.
