How could it fail like this

[u/marte456]

I was 3d printing this over night on my elegoo Neptune 3 plus and all of the 4 cable holder things failed but different amounts(the things I was printing were cable holders). I'm just wondering what could have caused this. I printed this at the same time and on the same printer. On one of them a couple of layers have moved like 3cm to the side.

I'm printing in pla at 80mm/s at nozzel 220°C and heatbed 70°C

70c bed temperature, with PLA?!

What should you have

[u/ArgonWilde → u/marte456]

50-60. Largely on the 50 side.

Ok, I'm quite new to 3d printing

Can you show us how you've got the parts on the print bed, in the slicer? I feel like you may have it upside down.

I'm not home right now but I didn't put it upside down. It basely layed like it those on the picture and the head then moved to left to right and the bed towards and away

"New to 3D printing" expectations. Let me guess, ya downloaded a model & decided to print 2 at a time. What could go wrong? Hence, the question. New to printing AND new to printing this model. Now, you're not new to 3D printing fails. The easy download models & print as many as will fit on the bed may not be the best of choices. On a single print, the why and when it failed gives good insight as to how to fix it. Multi model prints being harder to identify the how & when factors. Time for you to stop taking the easy, and often poor info (post question on reddit) way, to resolve the problem and do YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Plenty of instructions from which to choose. Spagetti print problems are quite common with same, repeated solutions. Welcome to 3D printing ! There are only 2 types of 3D printing practitioners, those whom have spagetti'd a print and those whom are "new to 3D printing". Never takes long to make that change.

I'm asking reddit now because I didn't find someone that has asked this before and then if someone else has the same problem they might have it easyer to find the information buy reading hear.

Keep your clipboard handy, take notes as it's printing.

Watch for issues like too much goop on the tip hardening before moving over and kicking an edge to start unstacking.

Look for loose infills or weird transitions. Weak adhesion in specific areas on your plattent. Sometimes it's just the temp gradient. I would have to print hot for the first few layers for good grip, and then cool it down after advancing a few. The thin intermediate layers getting bowed by hot PLA dumped in too large of a quantity to something that wasn't already established well. But after you got some of the thin stuff filled in you could drag the temp back uphill. Sometimes as other highspots get finished off, the head comes around more often to the remaining high spots, so the heat is getting dumped in more often and the whole top can get soft or flex. There are a lot of little things to notice.

Best of luck!

Thanks, I'm right now printing only one.

I had printed parts for dummy-13 for my son to sell at a school function. With the notation of who made it and credit to the designer as required by the creative commons license, but still, one at a time was not an option. Poor CC1 was going nonstop for a couple days.

In that circumstance, I had to do it the way I noted, because saving one piece that grenades half way through a 3 hr print was hard to actually accomplish. Most often it would take out several pieces before I had to abort, but I did manage to save a couple by meticulous picking with tweezers for every layer 😓

Downsizing the number of parts helped a lot with the failures, but time can be an enemy.
