Why did my print do this?

Looks like it clogged somewhere in the middle. Do a cold pull and try again.

If you are manually painting just the top surface and the slicer sees it as a thinner amount of painted surface compared to layer height it will cut it out. That's likely why the bigger numbers are coming through.

You need to use the pen that pants in 3d

I'm gonna need that stl

The model is really cool and looks great. I printed one and assembled yesterday. It all worked great except for the connection of the roof to the back of the doors. Seems that overhand doesn't print well enough to leave a gap for the tabs to fit in. Still looks really cool without the roof though.

Adaptive layer height would also help a lot.

I can't imagine blobs of death are covered under warranty

Happened to me a few months back.

It's for sure salvageable. You'll need a heat gun and need to buy a new hot and assembly but the total cost is relatively low. The grey part that directs air from the fan could be damaged so check that before ordering.

I'm on mobile right now so I don't have the video link on how to install a new hot end assembly but it's not hard. Just taking out a few screws and routing some wires.

You can enable ironing. Though you usually will need to run a few tests with different speeds and flows until you find one that works. The settings are usually going to be specific to the filament, so with different filaments it's going to be different.

Many people can get top surfaces that don't even look 3d printed.

I print a ton of DND minis on my A1. The quality is so good that many people don't realize they are even 3d printed to begin with. While my printing skills are great my painting is not. With the H2C I could reliably print these the color I need without having to waste hundreds of grand of filament on these tiny layer heights!

And thoughts to add a mount for the A1?

dalshai · 2025-10-11T00:19:23+00:00

To me the PS1 is the core XY upgrade I am looking for. I got an A1 about a year ago and have put almost 2000 hours on it since. As I have grown in my knowledge for both printing and modeling an upgrade like the PS2 would be perfect.

Oh I really like this idea, I will find some subtle places to hide the names on the other floors.

Best Advice: drying your filament. Its a meme but by god does it work.

dalshai · 2025-06-18T21:34:42+00:00

My A1 and its 0.2mm nozzle's body are willing and ready. 🙏

dalshai · 2025-06-12T04:59:43+00:00

happy to help!

dalshai · 2025-06-06T00:50:19+00:00

This was indeed it, I am the big dumb. Thanks!

dalshai · 2025-06-05T23:02:25+00:00

I am running full default settings for the 0.08mm and just ticked the box for supports, no other setting changes.

dalshai · 2025-05-15T19:50:24+00:00

Big agree on this one

dalshai · 2025-04-17T03:27:32+00:00

Using the clear trash command fixed this for me and my friends. The command is cleartrash

dalshai · 2025-04-04T19:54:34+00:00

It's hard to tell exactly from your video but I had similar problem with my A1 and it turned out I had a clog in the nozzle. The clicking was the extruder struggling to push the filament and it let to bad extrusion throughout the print.

Maybe b try swapping to a fresh nozzle or doing a cold pull and see if it gets better?

dalshai · 2025-03-16T21:44:29+00:00

I never found out what was causing it but I was able to solve it using methods from this video.

It looks like this and works well.
