Let's see if I got ABS down now. Three large blocks, 60% speed, in ABS. Print time: 14 hours. And it's on...
I mean, what could go wrong?
Design
Three blocks, one for drill bits, and two more for an odd collection of screwdrivers, all in one go.
Smart money says I shouldn't try printing all tree in one go...
The print (obviously) failed... But, the results were interesting, and I learned some things...
Don't use supports on diagonals
That should have been obvious, but... euh... I screwed up 😎
In the blue circle is a vertical support, directly from the build plate upwards, and from there 'on top' on one of the mounting studs. It's a stable support.
In the red circle are more supports, leaning (but not attached) to a diagonal surface... Obviously, they'll slide down and fall onto the plate, providing no support at all. Ooops 😓
Now this MIGHT work when printing PLA on a slower printer, when sliced with Simplify3D. In fact, I got that to work once before, so I completely missed my own stupidity in this case. Oh well, time to reprint.
Surface quality
I had accidentally random start on perimeters selected in the Bambu Studio slicer, under Prepare / Quality / Seam position / Random. Not the best choice, as it affects long, flat surfaces. This effect is more noticeable on ABS then it was on PLA.
Hmmm... Perhaps it's a good idea to try the seam painter on my next attempt. How does that work anyway?
