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.
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)
#3DPrinting community: I finally did it.
I paid Terracycle to recycle PLA waste from my 3D printing. I know it’s hard and expensive to recycle PLA (even tho it’s “biodegradable”), but still feel silly to pay hundreds of dollars. I should feel better tho after filling up the box with the PLA waste from all the years.
Next is researching for an economical way to shred 3D printing parts. Please send your solution my way 🙏.
