  1. Thanks a lot for your suggestions and input! I did stop it after about half a layer, because due to the model having already moved on the bed, the print was partly going into empty space. I was thinking about maybe putting some T-shape onto the lower parts of the walls. So basically a 90° wall, sticking towards the inside of the model. This should also help with stability, right? What exactly did you mean by "try placing a piece of paper on its side, supporting it only at the bottom"? Actually, there is already a brim on the outside AND the inside of the model. Here are the parameters i used for that: Would it make sense, to increase the brim line count? I remember having read on many occasions that five lines should be enough? What I'm taking away from this so far is: Improve bed adhesion Make walls sturdier Thanks, jam
  2. Hi guys, I'm fairly new to 3d printing. I printed a few premade models from the web with varying success, fiddled a little with printer settings, made my own smaller models/prints and decided to go for a more complex print. For that I made my own model in Blender, imported into Cura 5.1.0, applied my usual print settings, did a few tweaks and started the print. The first few layers looked good, although I was accepting a little warping on the far left end (x=75, y=220, z=0). I noticed that on earlier prints too, but I decided to keep going (big mistake?). However, on the next morning (after about 12hrs of printing) I encountered a print that has gone well for the most part, but then totally failed. I decided to stop the print at this point. Printer: Anycubic Mega X Filament: Basicfil PLA black Bed Temp: 60°C Printing Temp: 190°C (a little higher on the initial layers) This is my model in Cura: Thats the warping on the "far left corner": And those are the topmost layers of the print: Eventually, the left half of the print has detached from the print bed and shifted a little. At least that's what I decipher from this (and also the previous) area of the print: These are the questions going on in my head: Is it solely a problem of the print, or could/should I also do some improvements on the model? The lower parts of the walls (between the cutouts of the box) are rather thin and maybe too flimsy? Is it only a problem of bed adhesion? Could that alone lead to the weird printing issues? Maybe it's also a problem of a clogged nozzle or something? Is it a problem of air drafts during printing? The printer was operating in a rather small, closed and heated room without any people inside. So I guess the answer is rather "No"? I wouldn't like to just jump in and print it again with a few tweaks on my own, because the problems (besides the bed adhesion) only started to appear after ~8-10hrs printing time. I'm very grateful for any hints on improvements! I also attached my 3mf project file and can provide any further pictures or information that might be necessary. Thanks a ton, jam AI3MX_air_tower.3mf
