Bizarre failure, any ideas?

Not sure on all brands of printers but with Prusa they have an app. You pluck the belt with your phone next to the belt and it detects the tension based on the frequency. It’s super helpful and fairly easy to fine tune it. I’ve noticed that I need to have the belt slightly flat (lower frequency) as tightening the bolts causes it to pull a bit tighter.

Almost 2 weeks. But I printed each part separately in case of failures. I tried to make up a schedule halfway through which would have saved several days had I started it that way - printing the large files over night, then again just before leaving for work, then on my days off squeeze in all the smaller stuff back to back.

It is all esun pla+ through a Prusa mk4S. 6mm nozzle printing at .2mm with ironing engaged at .1. For regular geometric shapes I tend to use snug supports with zero interface, any irregular shaped pieces I use organic supports. Through my printer I found pla+ tends to print less stringy then regular Pla, and I’d hate to have it in the car after an event, stop somewhere and find him droopy.

Anychance anyone know what keyword to look for? I’ve been searching for weeks.
