Problem with 1/8” thick columns

Posted · Problem with 1/8” thick columns

Hi I'm an architecture student that just started printing my models made in Rhino. I just printed a flat floor that is 1/8” thick and columns that are attached to the floor that rise up. They are 1/8” in diameter. For some reason the whole print went good up until like the last 4 layers. The columns got very thin, probably just the size of the nozzle and the beams that were supposed to connect the columns at the top just didn’t print at all even thought they had supports. Please help it’s for my school projects and I can’t figure this out it keeps happening because my models are 1/8”=1’ so the columns are very thin. I’m just confused as to why this happened.

    Tell me if I'm wrong but the problem seems to appear on the layer where you only have the post printing (meaning that no more walls were printed?) If that so, maybe you did not had enought cooling time between each layer. That would explain why you got more stringing too ...

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
