Turned on retraction speed to 11 and i guess it wore down the filament at one part but then managed to push it after some 10 minutes of spaghetti 👌
How is that even possible that’s awesome.

Cooling fan cooled the spaghetti, and when enough got formed, outer perimeters started building the Z support. After some time, the infill actually caught to the flying spaghetti and created a “solid” bottom layer upon other layers managed to stick. Due to the flexible nature of spaghetti structure, the printed part was wobbling quite much and couldn’t retain the dimensional accuracy 😕

That is a work of art.
I used to have it but then i just had to throw everything away. Something something why is this junk in our house something something angry wife…
Print in place z key with functioning spring
We should make a whole keyboard out of this!
MechanicalKeyboards folks are LIVID right now.
Summoning chutullu with your 3D printer 101
Anyone aware if that be re-melted or recycled back into filament, or is it pretty much done for?
If I had a 3D printer this would be nightmare fuel after waiting X hours for the print to complete lol
In theory, you can remelt. Unfortunately, the practicalities mean it’s not viable. Each remelt cycle degrades the plastic itself, so you can only put 20% or so ‘old’ plastic into the mix. Combined with the game of plasticisers (to remove brittleness) and reliable forming, even commercial systems struggle, let alone home ones.
If environmental concerns are the issue. It’s best to print in uncoloured PLA filament. PLA is corn starch based, and decomposes in a bio reactor environment (it rots quickly in an industrial composter).
As for speed. They are getting impressively fast. A calibration cube takes around 20 minutes, though less than 5 minutes is possible. My machine is effectively fire and forget. They mess around while you are tuning them in, but once you have a good calibration, they now tend to hold it well. You’ll sit there watching it in fascination for the first few months, but that wears off.
You kinda get used to them failing.
Part of the reason my printer just sits there not being used, aside from I collect hobbies for fun, is that it’s a nightmare levelling the bed and getting things dialled in.
Resin printers don’t have these issues but it depends what you’re printing I guess.
resin printers have the slight issue of being a chemical hazard and requiring PPE.
Getting an auto leveler was a game changer for me. I still manually level the bed and check the Z offset every two months or so along with other maintenence, but I’ve gone on week long printing sprees without touching the bed springs once.
You get used to that being a possibility with every print. That’s why you should do everything in your power to have your printer always in shape and operational, although sometimes it will happen no matter what!
Unfortuneatly, this is just waste, straight to the bin.
Is it still a 20mm cube?
Clearly your Printer is not an Elon Musk fan.
I don’t get it 😔 Care to enlighten me?
You tried to get it to print an X and it noped out.
I’m guessing cause it stopped printing the “X”

Thats pretty amazing tbh. You could call that art imo.

I agree. Spruce it up and it’ll be art.

Maybe i should make a printable model but preserve the “original” “art” “design” 🧐

I see it more like a person who says “I’m fine” but it’s a mess inside.

I think your vision fits for average person WHO doesn’t know how 3d printing works, and that previous one fits someone who understands 3d printing
