Hi SandervG, Thanks for the advice. To stop the print from detaching I've seen people recommend using glue on the print bed, would you agree? Yeah the silicone padding was all in nicely but it's actually been a bit torn, hopefully this doesn't affect future prints. Here's the printer setup, the light isn't normally on so that's a little less heat. Do you think it would be too hot in there? Those pipes aren't the boiler. (I wouldn't say it's particularly hot) Cheers for the help

Hi Stu, Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go. I fear the extruder head might have sheared off but will see what happens when it's cleared.

Hey, Recently purchased an Ultimaker 3 Extended and have a beginner to intermediate experience with 3D printers. I've set the machine up in a well regulated cupboard and followed all calibration guides and print tips. However, on only my 3rd print my AA 0.4 print core has been completely destroyed. I had a relatively simple print with a 60% infill and 1.5mm walls in an attempt to achieve quite a hard finish. I was also running on 80% print speed and there was only a very small amount supports needed. The print was due to complete in 36 hours. When I came back this morning to check on the print the print bed had completely moved (was fully attached before I left at the end of yesterday) and the print ruined. I've uploaded a picture of the destroyed print core. Can anyone let me know if this is salvageable and why this would have happened? Thanks, Jed
