Ahhh crap… That moment a few hours into a huge print job when you realise you set the Z hop to 2mm instead of 0.2mm Noooooooo… :confounded:
At least the stepper is getting a workout :muscle:

Got pics? Just curious.

@Stephen_L It’s the retraction Z hop so no weird print, it is just taking FOR EVVVVER
Basically the print head does a little wheelie every time it needs to move to a new location… Haha

I’m designing / printing an adapter to join a camera flood light to a goose neck as a moveable light for my workbench

And with all that hopping around it ended up getting stuck to the print head… Wahhhhha! missing/deleted image from Google+

To be fair, you are overextruding a LOT. There’s clear evidence of piling in the corners, etc. Turn your flow rate down a bit.

@ThantiK That was where some support material was actually which I removed, and the hopping around dragged that all over the place. Also I was printing at 0.06 which didn’t help… So you’re probably right actually, it was over extruding for that too…
