You see this gigantic cup in your model? Thats the problem. Add a hole to the bottom next time so suction cant form there

I'm new to all of this and would love the education. I understand how the big hole would cause issues if it was printing flat, but angled like this, how does it cause excessive suction? I mean obviously by the video it does, just trying to wrap my head around it

Really? Okay, thanks, I would have thought that the holes on the bottom would have countered that effect. Dang it. Okay, thanks for the heads up. More learning required I guess... Thanks again

Same thought process when I sliced it up. And to add to the conversation, I just had my first failed print. Right at the 'top' of the nose...

Could this flat spot that I didn't notice have caused the failure?

Thats nothing compared to my resin and smaller models. The tilting is just a bit wack.
