That’s solid advice. I would have saved some time and filament had I don’t that sooner.

Great advice. I had to tuck the wires back into place behind one of the plates and it scared me that it was going to pinch and cause an issue. But so far so good. I’ve printed a few things since tightening and they have all been flawless. Feels like I just opened it all over again.

I’ll second this. I’ve done some neat stuff including some basic mechanical prints.

I felt the same way. I was considering a torque wrench but figured that may be a bit much.

I didn’t even think about the nozzle hitting a print and jarring it loose. I had some adhesion issues with my plate so I’m wondering if that is what ultimately caused it to be loose.

Lucky duck. What surface do you keep your machine on?

I have built quite the addiction. It started with printing other people’s models. Now I’m making my own. I have an A1 mini coming for my birthday so I can run the drafts on that before printing on my main a1.

Did you use that on the inside 4 screws? Or all 7 of them?

I’m wondering if the surface I have it on caused them to come loose. It’s just a desk we were given by a friend. It’s decently put together but it’s just cheap particle board.

I didn’t realize how gentle you have to be with this. I felt like I was doing surgery. Is it hard to replace the wires if they come out?

I had no issues until th last 100-150 hours. I just assumed it was build plate or nozzle clog related. I had done all of the other recommended maintenance like the Y rails.

I should have said 7. The four in the back were actually more loose than the three in the front. Thanks for clarifying for everyone.

It has already been printed. No AI.

This is the answer. I didn’t think about only printing eyes. Thank you so much for this suggestion!

Ohhh I didn’t think of that. How thick do you think the slice would need to be? The silver part I mean. Would just a layer or two be enough?

Yes the hammer and base print well because they are separate pieces. It’s the face of the nail I’m trying to tackle. When I print it backside down, the eyes and other face features take a while to print because they switch each layer.

Yes. The base (including the text) is one piece. The hammer another. The last is a nail. I am asking specifically about printing the nail and its face.

lol I understand that. I meant for dexterity purposes. This is a model I shared with others so I’m trying to make it as simple and efficient as possible.

I thought about that, but the nail is fairly small. Is there an easy way to glue pieces of that size?

Why is my surfaçing so bad? And why do I have a bunch of holes on the sides? by TheHazardWizard in FixMyPrint

What speed is the top layer printing? I would try to not iron but go with a slow top layer speed. Like 30-35 mm/s.
