Turned on retraction speed to 11 and i guess it wore down the filament at one part but then managed to push it after some 10 minutes of spaghetti 👌
Thats pretty amazing tbh. You could call that art imo. Like in some philosophical "Building yourself back up after failure" type of way
I agree. Spruce it up and it'll be art.
Maybe i should make a printable model but preserve the “original” “art” “design” 🧐
I see it more like a person who says "I'm fine" but it's a mess inside.
I think your vision fits for average person WHO doesn't know how 3d printing works, and that previous one fits someone who understands 3d printing
That is a work of art.
Definitely belongs on the wall of “this should be shame but I’m really quite proud”
We all have that shelf, right?
I used to have it but then i just had to throw everything away. Something something why is this junk in our house something something angry wife…
Put it next to your live laugh love poster
My sister has that directly on the walls.
I had no idea this was a thing despite also having it directly on my walls.
When I read your statement, I was like wait... I think that is what my wall says and had to go check.
The lady that lived here before me put that and some other weird word art on the walls. Been meaning to get around to peeling it off and repainting, but keep finding other priorities.

I was just at an art exhibit last week, and I'm confident you should put this in an exhibit. It perfectly represents the stages of a website or software project.
Anyone aware if that be re-melted or recycled back into filament, or is it pretty much done for?
If I had a 3D printer this would be nightmare fuel after waiting X hours for the print to complete lol
In theory, you can remelt. Unfortunately, the practicalities mean it's not viable. Each remelt cycle degrades the plastic itself, so you can only put 20% or so 'old' plastic into the mix. Combined with the game of plasticisers (to remove brittleness) and reliable forming, even commercial systems struggle, let alone home ones.
If environmental concerns are the issue. It's best to print in uncoloured PLA filament. PLA is corn starch based, and decomposes in a bio reactor environment (it rots quickly in an industrial composter).
As for speed. They are getting impressively fast. A calibration cube takes around 20 minutes, though less than 5 minutes is possible. My machine is effectively fire and forget. They mess around while you are tuning them in, but once you have a good calibration, they now tend to hold it well. You'll sit there watching it in fascination for the first few months, but that wears off.
You get used to that being a possibility with every print. That’s why you should do everything in your power to have your printer always in shape and operational, although sometimes it will happen no matter what!
Unfortuneatly, this is just waste, straight to the bin.
Is it still a 20mm cube?
This was max acceleration / max speed test, it’s a 30mm cube (scaled)
Not really a cube, that's certain.
But unless it's losing steps, the printer just can't make that top layer in any other height.
Clearly your Printer is not an Elon Musk fan.
I don’t get it 😔 Care to enlighten me?
You tried to get it to print an X and it noped out.
Aahh okay! That’s actually funny now when i think about it a bit!
I'm guessing cause it stopped printing the "X"
X? No, Ctrl+Z
Ahhh I see… the good old spaghetti infill exposing
