𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬It is possible to repair supports during a 9.5-hour print that has already been running for 4 hours …
The supports just came loose at 1 mm on the last layer of the bottom. I already had a test print in the trash that deliberately fits into the gap three times and happened to be 1 mm thick.
I used tape and glue stick for the first time … I hope the print bed isn't ruined now – the print definitely isn’t (apart from a few misaligned lines caused by pressing the repair parts onto the print bed. But it’s a utility item, so that’s acceptable).
It is now well past the “critical point” for failure, and I just have to wait two more hours while watching it on the webcam.
The print settings have already been adjusted for the second of these parts, with wider support and some measures to prevent warping.
