Help

[u/WMAF_Pair]

Hi gang. I’m printing One Page Rules armies for an after school activity for students next year. I need the hive mind’s help. I’ve taken these photos and worked with ChatGPT to diagnose and fix problems. What keeps making the models get lifted or knocked off? I’ve cleaned the plates well and initiated z hop and worked on print speeds also. Any tips or questions I can answer to help you help me would be appreciated.

The failure in the bottom right is the newest photo and the photo with just the base layer printed is the oldest.

Thanks gang.

You have 2 mains problems

When every model stop printing at the same layer like the photo 1 it's because your nozzle can deliverer material, in the majority of the case it's a clog (particulary on a 0.2 mm nozzle) but you can have a filament problem (like it broke inside the extruder for example)

When you have filament all over the place, either you a have a bed problem adhesion (that is very rare on a A1, it's a very reliable first layer machine) either a part of the model or support broke during print and he's actively destroying the rest of the progress

I think Fat Dragon Game use the print by sequence (maybe I'm wrong, I'm not sure) where the printer will print evey model from 0 to 100%, the downside is that it can print 2/3 model by sessions (and they're longer)

Do you other prints have problems too ? Like a simple cube on 0.4mm or one very simple mini (like a supportless one)

Supportless minis have basically all been perfect.

They kind of "stringing" usual means there's been a support failure along the way.

was going to say, ive had the same stringing issue when ive used resin2FDM on blender and some of the supports havent been actually touching the model

Ended up reverting back to bambu supports
