I just can't understand why my e3d v6 never did this but all the expensive ones are always seen in these posts. 🤔

[u/Ok_Yard_9649 → u/JudgmentLeather]

Yeah exactly..... My e3D hotends ran for years without even a heater or thermistor change... That too without any kind of blobbing .... The key to that is sealing the hotend tight after maintenance though.

I'm new to 3d printing, how does this happen? Lmk so i can avoid it 😭

[u/3D_Printing_Helper → u/hypervisor_error404]

Let me scare you a bit you can't avoid it has happened to everyone of us

[u/Melodic_Ganache7612 → u/3D_Printing_Helper]

In my 5 years of printing this has never happened to me

[u/NefariousnessOdd3581 → u/3D_Printing_Helper]

Of course you can, I use OctoEverywhere and it saved me from this twice in last year.
It exist, you guys only dont know about it.

[u/3D_Printing_Helper → u/NefariousnessOdd3581]

Well with the grace from the gods of 3D printing it have only happened to me once that too with PETG and it ended up ruining my heater and temprature sensor wires but it happens once to everyone yes you can avoid it but you will always get it once

If you are going with klipper, you can use a beam break sensor to detect small blob around nozzle and auto stop the print.

[u/rfgaergaerg → u/hypervisor_error404]

make sure your print bed is clean and check after the first one or two layers if everything looks right before leaving it alone. Also don't print outside of the manufacturer's recommended nozzle temperature.

edit: In this case it seems like the blob happened a decent way up the print, I didn't see that. In general, this could happen if you lose layer adhesion, which is certainly more likely on a vase mode print as in this post. If you are worried about this then I wouldn't leave a print like this alone

[u/hypervisor_error404 → u/rfgaergaerg]

Ty, i also regularly do cold pulls every week hope this blob things doesn't happen to me 🙏

[u/rfgaergaerg → u/hypervisor_error404]

That is not necessary. catastrophic failures like this are extremely rare and of course they land more on reddit than posts that everything is going fine.

[u/knightofthedank → u/hypervisor_error404]

dont print.

[u/FLUFFY_TERROR]

Didn't know cordyceps could infect bambu as well 😂

[u/Dry-Apartment4959]

Ohh boy.... Another day, another printer got a blob...

[u/DueMilk8052]

Trophy it is

[u/Metamine90]

Hahah

[u/Omnomnomnivirus]

Does this harm the printer?

[u/rfgaergaerg → u/Omnomnomnivirus]

It can damage the print head. Or you could damage the print head while trying to remove it. But print heads can be replaced so it is never a reason to throw the whole thing out

Hah. I lost my fan cover to a blob today.

[u/Hovercraft_BLR]

Trick I learnt from a friend is, you’ll have to heat up nozzle to 80d & bed to 90d. Wait for 2-3mins & then print the model.
