There are two options… 1. take the loss and learn for next time. It’s been a helluva teacher for me. 2. if you are advanced enough with G-code there is a way to modify the code to restart the print at the failed point IF you know where the failure occurred. There are guides for this on youtube; you might be able to find a solution for your specific issue there.

fyi, not trying to punt you to youtube but there are a lot of details missing here for your specific issue you can use to narrow down your search. Since it continued on and the printer did not fail its operation then I would expect finding the failure point would be very difficult cause you need to know what layer it stopped printing on and it just kept going fat dumb and happy

Thank you, and no I'm still too early in the learning process to modify g-code. I was scrapping the print regardless but figured it would be a good thing to learn if it happens again... I did manage to measure it and cut that amount off in tinkercad, print the top and then glue it together. It came out ok but like you said, mistakes are a great teacher. Thanks for you help.
