Why Your 3D Prints Fail: Top Problems and How to Fix Them!

[@chickentuber]

Do you do bed leveling before every print? Even if your duplicating the last print? I'm new to this. Thanks!

@@chickentuber great question!! It really depends on your machine, if you know your bed is perfect you can run many prints on the same settings. When I had my old manual leveling bed slingers I did a level every 10 prints and watched the first layers and made manual adjustments as I saw extrusion problems. With the Bambulab A1 it performs a bed level on every print unless you disable that before your print.

@@JohnPartsDesigns Good to know. I have the P1S and so far I've only had one fail (out of 9 prints). I think there was some filament goo stuck on the nozzle.

@ yeah my A1 has been nearly flawless. Matter of fact I had to almost fake a recording to simulate a failed print because I couldn’t get it to fail on me lol. I’m hoping my wife buys me an X1 Carbon for Christmas but I don’t think that’s happening haha
