After about 2000 hrs of printing, the first 0.4mm nozzle finally gave out last night.
I started a 22 hrs print before we left for vacation. The print was interrupted at the -40 min mark because the "toolhead front cover fell off"? Like, how?
I guess you will need to keep the bed warm for 3 days until we are back LOL.
It only took 8 iterations to get the design to perfect.
A #3DPrinting slicer config that I learned recently which also became one of my most used configs:
Print sequence: by object
This config allows the printer to finish one object from bottom to top and then move on to the next object.
Slicer will make sure objects are laid out with enough space in between, to avoid extruder collision. (implying the caveat that you can't put as many objects if the print sequence is by layer) (1/2)
It was a success!
31-hour print over the weekend; wish me luck. 🤞🏽
