It seems that the ABS base-mesh peeled off of the baseplate. That’s why it failed. Now how do i change the printer or my print settings or my 3d file to prevent this from happening again?
you need to turn off rafts on the polyprinters. you can leave the brim but a raft will decrease the surface area connecting to the bed
That bed tape might be a little old too. Get someone who has changed it to show you the ropes.
@PearceDunlap is dead right on rafts. I usually lay down a 1.0 cm brim on anything that doesn’t have a wide footprint. Also, the bed temp becomes a factor when the footprint is very large.
Yes, everyone gets to make all the mistakes.
BTW, welcome to the Space!
Also, only one print station computer was working: the single isolated one by the glass cabinet. All other computers had “this access method is not available at this time” whenever someone tried to ctr-alt-delete and DMS login. That’s not a big hindrance to productivity, but it’s something to be aware of.
Also, I’m sure there’s an easy solution, but only two printers were not “offline” when I accessed the OctoPrint interfaces via IP address.
