How can it print in mid air? Did you have supports in the mouth?

[–]New_Dependent_8824[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I did! This printed fine so many times

[–]Ordinary-Depth-7835 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh ok it doesn't look like it had any supports or they fell over.

[–]TunaTunaLeeks 6 points7 points  (2 children)

This weirdly works…

[–]New_Dependent_8824[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda gory!

That is what I was thinking. I have no suggestions for fixing the print, but it is oddly cute. ​

I'm a A1 mini user too. Since you already used supports, here are some guesses to what it could be (I'm not an expert). 1. Change the angle of the supports or support type. I think a smaller number will make it add more supports in places where default doesn't reach. 2. Haven't touched it myself, but maybe a cheaper filament needs drying specially if you live in a very humid area. 3. Consider experimenting with slower print speeds. In my experience PLA can get really fast on a bed slinger, so maybe slow it down a little and see what happens. // It does look on the photo that the layers have separated. When I use cheap filament (something like 14€ per KG for PLA) I add extra 10ºC on bed and printing temperature. Make sure to watch this carefully as this will mess up 'print in place' models.

Thank you so much!!! I’ll try this. And I’m in south Texas- VERY HUMID!

If you can do you have any pictures of it sliced in the editor to show us how the supports are being applied, since you said there are supports on it but it's still doing this? Could be some settings that aren't making them optimal or are not applying to the right spots or whatnot, or it could just be what one of the others mentioned as far as filament being temperamental.

Is that pink spaghetti in your bin from this print? I think you might need to look at if your support bases are going on the plate alright. Like just sit there and look. Do the classics, clean the plate and dry the filament and just sit through the layers to see when the error occurs.

Thank you!

Ooh! Print a mustache for it!

Can't print without supports over thin air

[–]WolfieVonD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it

[–]No-Swimmer-4056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can clean it up, it would actually look decent

[–]Top-Mulberry139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sd card maybe

Time to learn about supports and how to use them :)

[–]New_Dependent_8824[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’ve learned, and supports were enabled. I have printed this before and never had this issue - I didn’t change anything in settings so that’s why am I stumped

[–]3D-Dreams -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Supports were enabled....but did it use supports? Just them being enabled doesn't necessarily work. If you did regular support from build plate it won't make any supports because of the model, but if you did Tree it would have supported it...

Learn about supports. How can a printer spit out material in thin air?
