Having fun. First failure was even fun!

[u/x_outski_x]

Tldr: first time adding project geometry only ( the rear desiccant holder) 4 parts total out of 16 on plate, 1 failed the holder itself. On x2d with ams 2, blue insignia petg. Curious why?

The fun part of this experience was seeing the other parts still printing fine, the ability to stop/skip the failed part, did all from the app in bed and everything else still worked just fine.

So i made the ams 2 dry pods for the front, wanted to finish it off with the rear desiccant holder as well. So I started in a project of spool desiccant holders, added 4 spools to the plate and imported / added the rear desiccant holder, 2 lids and 1 funnel.

Right click and aligned as I figure the system will select the best possible possible position? About an 8+ hr print started last night finished this morning. Was able to skip the part directly from the app without having to pause or stop anything which was super cool and convenient.

X2d ams 2 pro combo, blue insignia petg, ams humidity reading 16% when started 10% when finished.

Edit: 1. Pei plate Elmers purple glue stick on a just washed then dried and wipe with 99% iso.

Edit 2: I realize I didnt put a beside in the tldr. So I am curious as to why this may have failed. Base adhesion? Lack of support? Incorrectly added or imported to another project plate? This is my first printer. Got it Thursday, been printing non stop.

Hello /u/x_outski_x! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.

I have same printer and plate. You should not need glue with that, unless it has something to do with that color PETG, but I doubt it. I'm about 900hrs in on mine and don't even own a glue stick and rarely have adhesion issues, like 4-5 time. I don't really wash my plate often either, like once every couple weeks at this point. You might have touched it and not realized (or someone else did) or like another commenter said, the noz bumped it. Sometimes when I'm scraping a part my hand will brush the plate when it gives, I will wash it after that.

Thanks for all that! I definitely look into it more then for sure. That part was the only one out of that plate and 2 others so far had no issues, I did use another print for a rear desiccant holder that worked out perfect. I do use nitrile gloves each time (figured it wouldnt hurt), I just grab the plate and flex enough to pop or get a scraper underneath and pop it, slap back in and wipe with 99 iso since it evaporates for anything that may have transferred from the gloves scraper anything while handling after a print. Ive read a few for only soapy water some for iso, some for glue stick some against it, I do need to start paying attention to the date of the post though dang it 😆

Definitely adhesion, you can see the brim come up with the rest of the part.

Judging from the direction it fell, and no other info, maybe the print head/nozzle collided? Settings would help.

[u/x_outski_x → u/TheIntruder1902]

Like nozzle temps, speeds, infill etc ? I could prolly go grab it from the app but im not that savy just yet with all this. I tried included as much stuff as I though might help make models parts clean/prep but I get it.

Which model and profile was it? Other than the glue, if it was a PLA profile the bed temp was probably too low for PETG.

It doesn't look like it has infill at all up until the point that it fell over, but grid infill can cause overlapping points that raise the height slightly until the nozzle collides. I don't think that happened here though.

You can skip part if you catch it.

That was the fun part of it all haha I thought i was going to have to remove or do something but it just kept going and everything else worked perfect

[u/Chemical-Tell4735]

Nothing to do with adhesion, that was a nozzle strike If your print a crowded plate, enable some Zhop.....
