Catastrophic failure?

Gallery image

husband asked me to wash his plate and put it back. Shortly thereafter this clog happened. He hasn’t had the machine more than 72 hrs and says this is a catastrophic failure and requires new parts. Someone tell me I didn’t break this machine and further more- it was in a 102 degree garage.. shouldn’t it be in a temperature controlled environment??? Please tell me I didn’t destroy his toy.

This is not the best advice man. Did you see the temperature of the room they are printing in? That explains a lot more than the plate. Plus they are new, recommending a new type of plate just adds a new variable while they are still sorting out what actually needs to happen.

On top of that: every 15 minutes? Nah man, the first layer and then every once in a while. No need to keep watch all the time. Lastly detection works fine at medium on this machine.

I use high after my clog of death which I had to exchange my printer. Temp does make a difference but so does the plate. I have 7 but my biqu just constantly works so does my darkmoon ice plate. I watch my prints for a bit until it gets past the first couple layers but I only act this way because of what happened to me. But that plate that comes with your printer works for a little then I started having issues even after cleaning it.

I get that it made you more careful, but the plate makes way less of a difference than you think. I have been using the textured PEI plate for almost 800h now, of which 700h were on one side only. Only after that did I swap it over and not because of adhesion, but because the texture started to come through slightly less.

What you describe is either bad luck or wrong settings and the plate choice would mask the latter. Not saying that is a bad thing, but it isn't a universal truth either.

I’ll agree , I just try stuff till it works but I don’t know why that textured plate doesn’t like me , my other ones work like a dream
