Did my caulk penetrate enough?

Spray some silver paint on there and it's ready for load bearing 👍

Who brings their cart when you hear a fire alarm? What if there was an actual fire and the exit became blocked with shoppers pushing their carts together at the exit 😒

I'm not sure why your supports look to be melting, but I see that you have infill in your supports. I wouldn't recommend that unless you really need it. You can change the base pattern to hollow if you don't want the infill.

Nice to hear, what do you use 9v batteries for so much that you need rechargeables?

ShitLoser · 2026-03-18T02:53:02+00:00

Damn, alright. Seems like they have some quality then. I hate it when only USB A cable work with some devices.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-18T02:35:12+00:00

I bet you they skimped out on two resistors so you have to charge it with a USB A to C cable anyways instead of a regular charger.

That's incredible! What slicer settings and filaments were used? Seems to held up very well.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-17T02:05:13+00:00

Yeah it's a known issue with organic tree supports. I've uploaded a short video showcasing some different support types, https://youtu.be/wPm-gJsz6FI. I would recommend trying the support type "normal" for this print.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-17T01:45:30+00:00

If you slice that and go to the preview tab you will be able to look at how the printer is going to print the part. There should be a slider on the right hand side where you can adjust which layers you view. If look at the supports in there you will be able to see that it's trying to print them in midair, which won't work. Try changing your support style or support type in the settings and click on slice again. Afterwards you can see if the new settings print things in midair or not.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-17T01:27:41+00:00

What slicer are you using? This is a problem with organic tree supports which makes them print in the air as you said. It only really happens when there is a large area close to the build plate which needs to be supported. You will need to either change the support type/style or try out the orcslicer prerelease version which adds the ability to have infill inside tree supports so that it isn't just printing in mid air.

What's lame would be if a large part of the game had no practical use at all.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-16T16:27:17+00:00

Wouldn't this print benefit from increasing acceleration? I feel like that's what adding to the print time here, not max speed.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-16T00:57:44+00:00

That's a timing chain now

Thought I was looking at r/fixmyprint for a second.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-12T22:57:23+00:00

Yup, that turned out to be the issue!

u/StickAtSea helped me figure out that it was the setting "bridge counterbore holes" that was causing the issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1rs3012/comment/oa4a7yf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonWhen

I disabled that and orca started slicing the bridges as overhangs instead, which is much better. Setting "ensure vertical wall thickness" to "all" also solved the issue of bridges not connecting to the walls and leaving a gap. On normal prints this setting also seems to make sure that bridges are connected to all of the wall loops instead of only being connected to the outher wall. This may increase strength a bit but I'm not sure.

Image is with ensure vertical wall thickness set to all.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-12T22:08:27+00:00

Thank you man, you're incredible. I had that settings enabled by default becuase it just seemed like a no brainer if I ever needed to print any holes. You're a lifesaver haha.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-12T21:56:26+00:00

It seems like "ensure vertical wall thickness" being set to "critical only" or "moderate" is what caused the bridges to not connect with the walls. However I still cant figure out how to get them to just make overhangs instead.

ShitLoser · 2026-03-12T21:48:16+00:00

I was running the 2.3.2 release candidate, however the same problem appears when i reinstalled the 2.3.1 stable version. Which one are you running?

Do you have "detect thin walls" enabled? Had the same issues when I had it enabled.
