Most bizarre printing issue is wasting precious time and filament

[blissful portal]

I am trying to print this part. Two times, on two separate slices, one of these two prongs has fallen out of its support structures (completely, ended up on the buildplate) and resulted in the entire print being compromised. There is no visible difference between the support structures in slicer and print, and the support structures themselves were intact. It only has happened so far to this side of the arrowhead. It looks like there is a fault going on near the same place; on one arrow the prong dislodged on that layer and on the other it separated completely and fell out. Nothing weird happens at those layers in the slicer. What is going on?

AI Help

It sounds like there may be an issue with the adhesion between the material of the prong and the support structures. This could be due to insufficient layer adhesion, inadequate support settings, or possibly a cooling issue during printing.

I recommend checking and adjusting the support settings in your slicing software to ensure that they are providing enough support for the prongs. You may also want to increase the print temperature slightly to improve layer adhesion.

Additionally, make sure that your printer's cooling system is functioning properly to prevent warping or detachment of the prongs from the support structures. Be sure to clean and level your build plate as well to ensure proper adhesion throughout the print.
