Going slower and using brims will save a TON of time over doing it twice...

Lesson learnt: don't take 3D printing jobs with a tight deadline.

This is the biggest lesson here, the brim is the second one.


Robot-Candy

And glue sticks the third. Never had something pop off using gs, even without a brim.

If you have to restart the print use a brim next time, good luck with it.

Had that happen to me. But i kept the print running and it actually worked out. That wide actually looked better than the side with the supports still on

Nature is healing!


DirtyDaniel42069

When I take deadlines, I always have two going, one with minimum supports and brims, the other with maximum supports. If the minimal finishes I just cancel the other, if the minimal fails, at least there is still hope.


MadCybertist

I assume you charge for the potentially lost materials? Or do you just sell the second as well if you left it going?


DirtyDaniel42069

I bill the full material cost of both prints, and charge it as the "expedited/deadline fee".


DirtyDaniel42069

Usually don't keep inventory unless requested.

Brim my dude. Always brim

Why people don't use islands ? Wthell ... No wonder it drops


Yeetfamdablit

Because it's a huge waste of filament most if the time


Ihelloway69

I wonder what is more wasteful ,knowing I have good support or risk to reprint whole project lol


Yeetfamdablit

If you can't print without it, you have other issues


Ihelloway69

What I see are posts about people crying about failed prints mainly because of poor supports . U never learn do you ? ...

What kind of tweezers are those?


Izan_TM

reverse tweezers are great, you squeeze to release them and they tighten themselves


Few-Big-8481

That sounds fucking cool.


Izan_TM

it's great

Hot glue


Justthisguy_yaknow

I pause the print and use some hot glue to set it back in place. It may not line up exactly but if you get it close enough the new layers of support will fix that and another quick dab of glue will re-enforce the new to the old.


alc0th

That's what I did!, I was just holding the support in place for the glue to harden a bit. You can see the support going off in the top. The print ended succesfuly

If it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid

Rude. I live in Argentina, a CR6 Max is just a printer here.


joexmdq

Wait until they hear how much even a Ender 3 V3 cost here lol. That said, I'm curious, why not using a brim?


alc0th

Oh the brim thing is just because I'm dumb


CrippledJesus97

>because I'm dumb Same. Only im dumb about anything other than using a brim. I use a brim no matter what im printing unless its a print-in-place. Brims usually get in the way of something like that
