You could let it keep going and it might recover itself, a few of mine have but if your only an hour into a 3 day print, I would recommend restarting it, I’ve had a couple of prints where this has happened and they’ve failed quite far in
Check your temps, levels and restart it. Better than wasting that much time and filament if it fails later on

k
i checked leveling it's fine
temps are the same i always use
im gonna leave this open for a bit incase it does it again
lucid trout
What are your temps and what material are you using?
lucid trout
I normally use 60 for my bed, as recommended by cura, you could try that and see if it makes a difference
Nozzle temp is the same as mine though
upper sundial
idk why but whenever i level
the middle seems fine
but it is less
like
thinner lines
mint canyon
3 days seems high
mint canyon
Yeah thats long

Support density?
mint canyon
Might need to open all the settings up… i use about 1% infill on support… cuts time and material. Could get away with a higher overhang as well. At least 60°
lucid trout
Agreed, I’ve even used 65 support angle on some of mine, support density for mine is usually about 5%
lucid trout
I’ve had a lot of success with gyroid, seems to cut time too
What infill are you using for the model itself?
Type and %

20 grid
upper sundial
bruh
..
im a moron
i had it with no infil before
ok
with 10% infil gyroid
and 1% on supports
its agt
its a jumbo pupper
dont ask
lol
lucid trout
Try a support angle of 65
And up the speed to 70mm/s
That’s a lot of filament, what size are you printing at?
lucid trout
That’s pretty big, try the support angle at 65, speed 80 and infill 5
lucid trout
Much better
upper sundial
overhang 65
lucid trout
Much better for printing now, 4 days for a print is rough, though I’ve had to do them before
upper sundial
i did also have a few questions about large scale props
is there an alternative way of fusing them other than welding
every time i weld i looks horrible
is there like PLA glue or something
i want it to hod up but i mess up welding evry time
i have a soldering iron with a knife ish tip
and it never works out :(
uhhh
lucid trout
I’ve not found a better way yet, I normally use some spare filament like solder to fill in the holes and smooth it out,
Though I suppose you could try gorilla glue, I’ve used that to stick PLA together before
upper sundial
my mprinter just stopped
it like
froze
the steppers were disabled
and my screen wont respond
lucid trout
I’ve never experienced that before
lucid trout
Possibly

woudl it hold up
for like a sword
gorilla glue
It keeps doing it now
lucid trout
I haven’t tested it on any bigger props, but it might hold well enough,
I’m not sure what is happening with your printer, have you tried cutting power completely, and restarting it?
lucid trout
Odd, how are you sending prints to it? Are you using usb or SD card?
lucid trout
That’s strange, I’ve never encountered an issue like that, have you tried a different file?
upper sundial
Idk man
It’s the same file as the one that curled up
It was printing fine
Just the warp was the issue
lucid trout
Try another print that has run successfully before, it could be a bugged file
