Rate my printer gore

Not looking for support, just wanted to show newcomers that good printers with good calibration also can make spaghetti.

I'm not entirely sure what happened here, as I didn't pay attention, but stuff like this usually happens when a booger of nozzlesnot sticks to the print somewhere and hardens, and next time the unsuspecting print head comes along it hits the (now solidified) snot, and the belts skip a tooth or two.

1/10.

You wanna see spaghetti?

That'sa mamma's pasta!

My son didn't clean the plate after putting his filthy hands everywhere and lost bed adhesion from the word 'go'.

Ooof, this is the reason why I religiously watch the first layer and why my daughters ain't printing without me or the missus around just yet!

The squid are nice, but you need a hotend blob if you want to get higher than 6 out of 10. A blob that also consumed a silicon sock will get you to 9, probably.

You're not truly alive until you're cooking your extruder assembly with a heat gun to get enough solidified plastic off of it just to take it apart.

What about a partially cleaned blob… of PP… that also went inside the sock?

My ender3 will do that if printing by usb and it loses mains briefly. The brain stays alive but the body stops.

Massive layer shift, but also the part before isn't exactly great quality. I'd say crap or wet filament.

I've seen worse, but it ain't exactly great either.

3/10.

It's a filthy print sheet, actually. Filament is dry and good, but it's been a long while since I cleaned the print surface.

Could be an artifact of the lighting but it looks like a lot of stringing inside the infill.

2.5/10

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 267d (2 replies)

Only 2.5? Someone gave me bonus points for the "Squid in the seaweed".

It's just that printer gore gets so much worse. A 10 would be a failed print that's so spectacular it causes major permanent damage to the printer requiring replacement parts.

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 267d

True. I've had two spectacular ones myself:

I was printing some minis, and one of them came loose and knocked all the other ones loose as well. It took a long while before The noticed and the spaghetti buildup got to the point where the cooling fan for the hotend got tangled. The printer noticed and shut itself down, so no harm done.
I don't remember what happened, but the nozzle picked up a lot of snot that didn't come off, and it only kept accumulating to the point where any extruded filament just kept adding to the booger. Luckily it was easy to remove as it was still pretty warm. And praise the gods for nozzle socks.

EDIT: Oh, back in 2012ish when I first started dabbling with 3D printing, a spool tangle caused the printer to winch itself off of the desk and ended up lynched against the spool holder. Oddly enough the print was relatively OK.
