I left the print over the weekend and I came back to spaghetti. It looks like something, caused the printer to push the print off its base like it was a poorly leveled bed?
I still have to watch the camera footage to see what failed, but I hope you guys get a chuckle out of the spaghetti monster like I did.
I have! This printer actually finished a 3ft sailboat rudder before this print. I popped some pictures of it in as well
Do you think that could be be solved by adjusting the z offset?
If the print didn't come off the bed, I don't think adjusting z-offset will help. As prints get taller, if you're running into issues with warping the corners will start to curl up.
Your printer definitely missed some x or y steps. Whether that was due to your drivers getting too hot and just that, or the extruder running into the print. Have you ever seen your printer do this:
No, that’s a new one.
Would greasing my gantry screw help?
If I’m missing steps due to heat is the only solution a new motherboard?
If it's heat it could also be a cooling thing. If you search the web on your search engine of choice for " driver overheat" you'll see what solutions the community has already come up with.
Thank you, i’ll do some digging!
