Why do prints fail mid-way?

• Check filament feed.
• Monitor spool tension.
• Watch out for overheating.

Mid-print fixes save hours of rework.

argh. super frustrated by underextrusion in my 3d prints. I’ve calibrated and tried about everything besides replacing the bowden tube, the hot end (and/or fans), or the extruder gear assembly thing.
I’d ask Reddit but they tend to not read full post and then suggest things you’ve already tried

New type of ressin 3D-printing. The worlds fastest. This tecnology is able to 3D-print a complex shape in only 30 seckonds. But only the size of your hand. The best is that it has no layerlines, and it is solid, the only weakspots are desind in the model .

New 3D print. This one is just print and go, no fiddling around with silicone and resin. I think these tiles work better for decorative purposes than pure Penrose tiles. I have a new modular system coming up for molds and casts but that can wait.

Hey #3dprinting community, my RAMPS 1.4 board just melted its bed connector after 10 years of service. What would you recommend to replace it with?

Context: the printer is a homebuilt coreXY without any special features. I'm an engineer (both soft & hard) so beginner-friendliness is not a hurdle.

Unfortunately, sometimes it comes with the territory :(

this is what 3d printing is for
