Printing is going well for 10 hours, then sh** hits the fan.

Hello everyone,

So I started printing a frag rack this morning with petg filament. It's large, and takes all my printer's bed (Ultimaker 2+ connect). I had to abort and retry a few times to get a first good layer, but then it went well for the first part of the project (basically a plate with holes) which was about 10 hours.

Then when it started printing the legs, it all went to sh**. I had to stop the printing session as the whole legs ended up being a ball of cotton candy instead of real leggs, and can basically toss the piece I have.

What went wrong? For whatever reason, the base of the legs is hollow (see picture) I have no idea why, maybe that's why it didn't stick when printing?

Thanks for your help.

E.

        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.
