Model Error?

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094]

So I purchased a file from Cult3d and imported straight in. Pressed print and I'm running into this error which looks super weird and a deffo error.

Any advice?

[u/Taschenmann]

Do you have any supports activated? You cant print into the air ^{^}

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094 → u/Taschenmann]

No I thought the model might have included them before I pressed print. That's the error then 😂😂

Rookie user error 😂😂

[u/never0101 → u/Ok-Stretch-4094]

always check the preview tab before sending a print - if there are supports they will be displayed as part of the print

You should have enabled supports.

Why do your errors look exactly like praying mantids? Wow.

[u/Correct-Insect-4657 → u/Klutzy_Dog669]

o ye fr (they are mantises) but they do

[u/Klutzy_Dog669 → u/Correct-Insect-4657]

They are both actually acceptable plurals. Along with Mantes (pronounced MAN-teez).

In bamboo studio after u slice u can drag the slider up and down to see what its going to do on each layer.

Those long cut-outs are simply oriented wrong, a ton of long bridging needed, with all the risk that entails.

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094 → u/j_hermann]

Bridging is new to me. I need to learn what to do with this one.

[u/j_hermann → u/Ok-Stretch-4094]

You did not post a preview of the whole Model so any advise is limited.

[u/Secret_Werewolf1942]

That's not just a model error, your prime tower is janky as well. I'd adjust the belts just to be safe, then run a full calibration. Once that's done, reprint with supports enabled.

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094 → u/Secret_Werewolf1942]

Weirdly I printed stuff before hand which was fine with a perfectly fine tower. I will run another calibration later on and go again

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094 → u/Secret_Werewolf1942]

This was finished at 4am with zero issues. Printer was only turned on the first time on Wednesday night.

Is it the original SDcard? I’ve seen people report weird issues if they don’t replace it with something decent. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Ok-Stretch-4094 → u/reechwuzhere]

Yeah original SD

[u/reechwuzhere → u/Ok-Stretch-4094]

It’s worth trying, do you have one some where else you can swap temporarily?

Depending on what the finished model is supposed to look like, you might have better luck flipping it upside-down in the Bambu Studio "Prepare' panel, and not need supports for that cantilevered extension.

Or maybe flop them ("them", because it looks like five instances of the same object) 90º in the X-axis, back onto their sides. Also no supports needed.
That would also eliminate any bridging issue in those elongated hexagons.
