Worst failure I had

[@Vez3D]

Maybe nozzle got lose a bit and didnt seal anymore? whats your thought ?

[@M1America]

That was my thought. Thats why tightening them while they are hot is important.

[@Vez3D]

well.. I cleaned everything.. and to my surprise.. the nozle was still there ultra tight. so im very lost on what happened. Maybe the part got stuck on the nozzle and it kept extruding to create that worm? I dont know. But nozzle was very well torqued on it still.... very weird one

[@Vez3D]

@@M1America yes thats basic stuff. :) and thats how everyone should do it.

[@ThatDarkSquid]

Perhaps the print got loose while it was still small and got stuck underneath the nozzle, plastic would flow on the sides forming a "blob" which would increase in length with every layer?

[@danieldeutschen]

@@Vez3D sounds about right. I had something similar happen to me a while back, but that worm got about 3mm thick and maybe 5-8mm long before it broke off the nozzle

[@Vez3D]

back in busyness again !! thanks to SliceEngineering repealant stuff.. it was in fact very easy to clean. took about 5 min. Heated a bit above glass transition point (120C) and everything came off easy :)

@Joe Schmoe no it was tight still. So it must be that printed parts stuck to the nozzle and this happened

[@TheRAINMan059]

I had a horrific one where the print failed and knocked my inductive probe off its mount and the nozzle hit the wires - melting through the insulation and shorting them. Had to replace multiple electrical components after that one and actually switched to the Euclid probe

[@thedanishmaker9490]

My best guess (and also my Bet) is that it was trying to transform into Venom 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@marsgizmo]

well, 4th of May… Darth Vader… 😂 that’s a very interesting failure indeed 👀

[@Jmoneysmoothboy]

Looking at the build plate it seems that either the first layer never stuck or it was ripped up by some extra glob on the nozzle or something. My thought is that oil of some kind became introduced to the system either through the filament path or just deposited on the build plate from the air. Were you cooking with oil at the time?

[@93Pendragon93]

seems like venom was taking over... but failed :D

[@ldomotorsjason3488]

It happed, good record for printing life!

[@CheetosR24]

I've been toying with those bed blasters (RSCS), and i was wondering, how do you control them? i ended up now manually turning them on after first layer is done. I'm sure there is a more efficient way to do this.

[@Vez3D]

For now slicers dont have options for multiple fans :( so I manually do this too. But i just manually add a line in gcodes after 1st layer.

[@CheetosR24]

@@Vez3D thanks for your reply, that's a better idea indeed

[@jellyfinger]

That's some fat extrusion width, did you put the decimal in the wrong place?

[@Vez3D]

haha no.. it started ok.. on the first was almost done and I left the printer to go back working.. and came back to this hahaha

[@FuchsDanin]

Looks to me like the nozzle came out while it was printing near the bed, and it kept trying to print. It formed the giant turd-log you see, but your cooling is higher from the rear of the hotend, so the rear of the log cooled first, causing differential firming, which made it curl rearward slowly as the filament was fed into the giant lump and became one with it. From there, the "rear" fan was cooling the log's underside.

[@corexyz5520]

But look at that layer adhesion lol, I had a similar thing happen with some cfpetg with long strands of fibre where a small amount of ooze was hitting the print as the nozzle moved to a spot on the print which would happen every layer causing the print to slowly be peeled from the bed

[@Leviathan3DPrinting]

It that that CPE PC carbon fiber stuff? Ordered 3 rolls after I saw your post. Having issues with bad layer adhesion but other then that it prints well.

[@josiahong5177]

Im having great layer adhesion but poor printability

[@TheButchersbLock]

Just two words come to mind… Oh damn! 🤯🤯🤯

[@MaxSoloAT]

probably you invented a 10mm nozzle

[@jasonitbzhao6173]

Ohhh so this isn't normal? my raise3d pro2 when printing pa6-cf everytime

[@josiahong5177]

welp this is pc cpe cf i think

[@bostongeorge76]

It happens even in the best families unfortunately, it could have been a problem in the filament, an unsolved lump in the filament that blocked the nozzle and the melted plastic and escaped from where it could.

[@blank8969]

i had the whole hotend covered in a ball lmao, always fun

[@danieldeutschen]

Is the nozzle still in there? :D

[@Vez3D]

we shall see

[@rollotomasi1832]

😂 love it 💛 What material is your fan duct printed from btw?

[@Vez3D]

Nylon carbon fiber

[@kmyerslp85]

It looks like your "10mm" nozzle failed. Lol

When Venom attacks

[@NiceDevil]

that are the things that hold you back from designing us a wonderfull ratrig/eva carriage :D

[@Vez3D]

Its already designed and manufactured ;) some beta testers are testing it..then you can have one :)

@@Vez3D wohooo best message of the day :) can’t wait to get one ☝️ 🦾

use the hot air gun tune down the temperature to blow it, slowly remove

[@ЕвгенийВладимиров-л3к]

It happens, heat it up and clean it with a dremel with a brush

[@tobit6890]

maybe (just) a good day to play the lottery?

[@Mikey-oz2sp]

IT'S VENOM!!

oh man.. sorry its cleaned already and didnt film it
