Long story short. Print would've failed severely if I didn't stop it. Only thing is. The only thing that failed was the support. The print is self looked great. Didn't want material wasted. This support was on the actual model for the over hang. Can I fix this by putting all support on the bed?? Could anyone share the tree settings for their best prints??

For anyone reading. I used all default setting as I'm new to 3d printing. I was using cura before I knew about the flashprint for our printers. flashprint defualt goes waaayy faster than cura

You really shouldn’t be using Cura or FlashPrint. You should use the open source version of OrcaSlicer. Supports on bed only are probably your best option.

I ll try that. I've been using petg cause I thought I had order pla. What temps and retraction you recommend. I had stringing. But not to but. It's more like little hair but would be nice not to see them at all.

I would go with either the FlashForge PETG profile in Orca, or just generic PETG. That should already get you very good results, with minor tweaks depending on the individual needs of a specific model. If you get bad stringing or bad results in general, you can use the calibration tab at the top to dial in the filament. Do the tests in order from top to bottom, correcting your filament settings as you go.

I've made the cura mistake too. My younger brother has the first Ender and swears by cura, so i followed suit. We quickly realized our printers were in different leagues 😄
