There should be a support structure in the middle of it! It got knocked over somehow within the last 15-30 minutes or so. What should I do? I'm so close to finished. Is there any hope for this build?

Leave it

#

It’ll probably fine

open trout Apr 26, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

Let's hope

#

The outer layer seems to have a big ridge in it now

Pic?

#

Not sure how clearly this is gonna show

#

See the displacement near the top edge?

rough remnant Apr 26, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Looks like a small layer shift

#

I was hoping that's all it was

#

I can buff that out with a little finishing Right?

rough remnant Apr 26, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

Yep. Should be fine

open trout Apr 26, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

I sure hope so! Thanks for the reassurance lol

#

If it fails I guess the only thing to do is try again

rough remnant Apr 26, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

It shouldn’t.

#

I'm trying to see if I can figure out WHY it failed, and I think the support structure couldn't support itself? Is that a thing that can happen?

#

Did you use trees or standard?

open trout Apr 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Trees

#

I know frank said there's a give and take with those, Cura told me trees would use a little less material so I went for it

#

Is this the take that was foretold?

rough remnant Apr 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Do you still have it pulled up in cura?

open trout Apr 26, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

Uhhhh I might actually

#

Let me take a look in just a sec

#

Yeah it's still here!

About an hour to go. The support seems to have built itself back up from nothing, that's odd. Are support structures a scam invented by Big Fillament? squintleft

#

But I'll post updates when it comes off! That one layer shift looks pretty noticeable but I'm sure I can probably fix it with a little finishing

#

Alright, update

#

It's uh

#

It's too small. I gotta start over anyway
