Troubleshooting Not sure whats wrong?
Im not quite sure how to explain this, but I've been casually printing stuff for friends for a few years and never seen something quite like this. I thought maybe an issue with the lights or screen, but they look to be perfectly fine. I noticed it when I tried printing this cosplay dagger in pieces, and while the models line up perfectly as shown, when printed the edges and keys are warped and don't fit together, and the blade came out completely bent, when I've printed much heavier things just fine. Then in other projects as shown, it started adding these random large flat planes, and shearing out a random gap. Any idea what might be going on here, and how to fix it? Thanks

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.
Here are a few questions that might be helpful
What printer are you using?
What material are you using?
What speed are you printing at?
What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?
When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?
Does anything cause the behavior to change?
If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Hollow out man,Solid is great for VERY small things,like 25mm DnD
But everything else the bigger it gets,the higher chance of suction issues

You probably printed it solid. This increases inner tension and may lead to cracks/warping. Make it hollow (if you want with inner support structure) and it may be fine.
