Tips and Tricks: I press ‘Print’ and walk out the door after I’m convinced it’s past the first layer…come home 90 minutes later to see the print MOCKING me…hanging on by a thread…wobbling about JUST before complete and total failure.

Grrrr.

It’s on blue tape on glass, so I grab a tube of superglue and run a drip around the three sides that didn’t warp up and turn the fan on to the print…the superglue holds the part, and it’ll complete (assuming any of a myriad of other potential failures don’t up and kick me in the shins.)

So…print on something disposeable (tape), and keep a bottle of Cyanoacrylate nearby!

There is no feeling like sitting around waiting on the brim and fill, post a wait for the bed and hot end, and coming back 4 hours later to see some type of jacked up print in progress.

If it happened once a month it would be 12 times too many per year!
