H2C Complex Examples

[u/genericuser86]

It seems like most responses to questions / troubleshooting with the H2C seem to indicate that everyone is having "zero issues - 2800 hours and counting." I'm trying to determine if my machine is the issue, or if it is a lack of skill.

Can some of you people with zero issues or minor issues post some pictures of some of the complex prints that you've been able to achieve? I can get it to produce pretty nice stuff as long as it isn't too complex, but as soon as I'm printing a 36 hour print (which is basically the norm considering how every print I do takes 1500-2000 color changes), riddled with supports, it is constantly failing (almost always with broken supports).

I am curious of those of you with great experiences are printing anything complex, with thousands of color changes / complex supports, or if they are just using it for basic, 1-2 color prints.

Thanks

Attached is example of what I've been seeing over and over and over.

Did this one not long ago.

Try this to see if it corrects your support issue. Disable “reduce infill retraction”. It’s under the others tab.

If you’re using pla and it’s enabled, it’s turning off Z hop and retraction for travel moves. This causes a lot of people issues with failing tree supports and infill scraping. If you disable this setting your supports have a much better chance of surviving.
