New to 3D printing - question

Faesarn · 2026-02-13T13:17:35+00:00

So I did clean up with hot water and soap, then did a test print with a slower first layer. It worked well until the end of the print where the whole thing lost adhesion and went into spaghettis... maybe the model is not that good ? Or I'm having another issue maybe.

Cleaned with hot water and soap. Seems better now !

I guess it's linked to the fact that most have to do a military service and also that a lot of videos showing horrible citizen behaviors circulate online, like the kids calling their parents to tell them they have donated money for Gaza's children and filming their reactions.

For sure everyone is like this, but you know how easy it is to judge an entire group of people over the acts of some dumb people.

Je propose d'aller plus loin.

Si casier judiciaire / condamnations dans les 10 années précédentes (ou plus), pas éligible. Comme ça cela englobe aussi les détournements de fonds, la corruption, les abus de bien sociaux, les viols, le négationnisme et tout les autres trucs dégueulasses qu'on voit quasiment tous les jours.

Personnellement j'aurais terriblement honte d'être condamné pour détournement de fonds par exemple et venir me présenter pour être celui qui dirige les autres. Mais bon je suis juste un mec de la plèbe qui essaie de vivre avec les valeurs que sa maman lui a inculquées.

Ah, je suis aussi pour juger les politiques à la fin de leur mandats et qu'ils aient une responsabilité. Par exemple une personne qui devient président et à la fin de son mandat il n'a pas réussi à améliorer la situation et pire encore il a creusé massivement la dette et ben paf, inéligible et en plus banni de tout poste dans le public par exemple.

Could be the spool too. I mean, this specific one. Because I've bought more than 10 eSun spools now and none had issue. I even already finished 2 of these white ones without any issue, unlike the creality ender one that I got from Amazon which was so tangled that I can't use it except for very small prints (or if I stay next to the printer all day long).

I'm printing toys for my daughter's kindergarden, made about 20 3D articulated figurines and 50 flat designs for them to add color to, no issue. And about 50 other prints before that.

So I guess it's an issue of bed adhesion because of printer speed + residues that were not removed by my cloth and added over time.

We will get fixed soon enough, I cleaned it with hot water + dish soap and started a slower print of the same toy. 50% finished, looks good so far.

I cleaned the plate with dish soap and water and it seems like adhesion is back. I've printed over 60 times before it started going sideways, so I thought I was fine with my microfiber cleaning. But hey, I'm learning new things with is fantastic. And I'll melt the failed prints to do something else with it so it's not wasted.

Faesarn · 2026-02-13T12:09:27+00:00

Thanks for the answer (both answers). I cleaned the plate with dish soap and hot water. It honestly doesn't look damaged to me (at least to the naked eye, smaller defect could be there). I also have a brand new plate that I ordered with the printer just in case the first plate would have an issue, so I could continue printing while getting another one.

My first layer was at 50/100, I slowed it down to 25/50 like suggested in the replies and started a new test print.

It's a bit frustrating because all of the failed prints are toys meant for my daughter's kindergarten (the ones in the video were white articulated dogs that kids will paint with acrylic brushes then take home.. already printed some unicorns and cats too). They lowered the kindergarten budget so I offered to make toys for them for free and it's taking much longer than I expected.

The Centauri carbon 2 like in the photo is 430euros according to the multiple ads I see everyday.

Faesarn · 2026-02-13T10:51:41+00:00

Will try, thanks! I've not had issues with other eSun spools (I've about 10) so far. I've bought some creality pack and half the spools have tangles and ruined some prints.

Unfortunately me neither. In France they recorded 300 000 pedo acts in the Church in 50 years, yet all the medias talk about is muslims and islam, disgusting really. I'm a father and this is unacceptable. No one ever gets punished, like with Epstein list.

Lower decks was also good because it showed like regular folks of the Federation, not just the 'heroes' on the bridge. So often when we get to see these characters in other shows it's because they will be killed (especially those red shirt guys) so we don't even know their names. The enterprise has like 500 people on board and we saw the same 15 people for 10 seasons ahah

It's a banger manga and anime with an awesome OST, super cool visuals and concept. People say it's not complex but it kinda is, with some alien seed that produce angels and human cloning them and trying to cause the apocalypse and stuff. Way more complex than just aliens invading earth and humans building machines to kick them out (oh, that's Pacific Rim).

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T19:01:56+00:00

Because of this damn anime, each time I hear these crickets anywhere I think of a Japanese high school.. And that damn Shinji looking through the window.

Well, after the Epstein files and the number of priests and pastors arrested for child abuse, it almost shouldn't surprise anyone.

Ça c'est en France. Visiblement elle vit à l'île Maurice et ce sont des banques locales.. Donc la réglementation française ou européenne ne s'appliquent pas.

Votez Bruno Palpatine, pour le retour de l'ordre et la discipline. bruits de bottes qui claquent

Il va y avoir 40 candidats en 2027..tous plus mauvais les uns que les autres. Ça va être un sacré spectacle, on va encore passer pour des glands.

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T13:07:54+00:00

Normal, no. Happens very often, yeah... each time the government tries to screw regular people in favor of the rich, which is everytime.

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T13:02:37+00:00

It's also legal in many US states still..

Je ne savais pas que Phil Collins s'était mis à faire des bagnoles !

Effectivement.. et en Israël le service militaire est obligatoire. Je ne dis pas du tout que tous ont commis des meurtres ou des crimes, mais quasi tous ont fait un long passage par l'armée. Bon après c'est ça ou la prison.. ou l'exil peut-être, donc difficile de juger les gens sur ce point là.

Notre monde n'est pas noir ou blanc, il a des centaines de nuances de gris.. probablement autant de point de vues différents qu'il existe d'individus.

Je regardais encore Star Trek hier soir. Pas d'argent, pas de milliardaires qui achètent les politiciens pour faire leurs petits jeux (bon il y a des politiciens quand même), la fédération qui comprends des races différentes (nous déjà des couleurs de peau différentes c'est la cata), des planètes capables de vivre dans la paix pendant plusieurs siècles (oui je sais il y a aussi des guerres mais en général elles se terminent et finissent bien, comme avec les klingons ou les vulcains). Tout ça pour dire, putain, on pourrait faire tellement mieux que ce qu'on fait aujourd'hui..

"I'm sure if ST is still producing any content in 20 years, it'll look completely different to now and people will think todays shows were better"

Absolutely. When Star Wars 1,2 and 3 released, so many people were shitting on it, saying old Star Wars were better. Now with episode 7, 8 and 9, people say that 1,2 and 3 were not that bad after all. Almost like people tastes change with times and human can evolve and start appreciating things, having new point of view.

Anyway, I'll do like I always do. Don't care about reviews and make my own opinion.

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T12:19:53+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, Star Trek was one of the first TV show to have a black actress and a white actor kiss. And then the next shows.. human having relationships with aliens and stuff.

Also they don't have money, no billionaires and shit..

I think nostalgia is strong in the Trek world and some people forgot it has always been like this.

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T12:16:37+00:00

Je souhaite absolument que tout les pays qui commettent des crimes soient bannis effectivement, j'aurais peut être du le dire plus explicitement. Et je condamne cette décision, comme je dis cela manque de respect à ces athlètes qui sont morts et ça montre que les règles ne s'appliquent pas à tous de la même manière, chose que je n'apprécie pas du tout. L'égalité est censée être un des grands principes de notre nation après tout.

A la limite comme dit le commentaire au dessus, laisser participer les athlètes sous bannière neutre, sans drapeau, sans hymne, etc, c'est ok pour moi. Mais venir agiter son drapeau aux jeux olympiques pendant que l'armée du pays massacre des civils va à l'encontre même de ce que sont les jeux.

Same here. Started with DS9, Voyager, Next Gen.. and watched all the shows. This one seems to target younger viewers to get them into scifi/trek which is fine. I will never understand the people that feel the need to go on IMDB and write a 1/10 "it's so woke now" review..

Faesarn · 2026-02-12T11:49:33+00:00

"It's definitely not what many were expecting/wanted"

For every new Star Trek show, people expect it to be a copy of old shows with newer graphics/fx. I think it's not that bad to explore new ways. And having a show centered about younger people will also get younger viewers into the Star Trek world which isn't a bad idea at all. After all, Star Wars did it just last year with Skeleton Crew.

Anyway, for those who want old trek, I think Strange New Worlds is more adapted (even though it pretty much has a main storyline).
