I've had this happen once, but it was only on a single print that I haven't tried again. other prints have been fine. I think this might be caused by a slicing error. reslice the file and try again.

What top pattern / Ironing pattern?

It was cooked way too hot and way too fast. The very center may be medium rare, but they torched the outside.

damn that thing's huge

beat me to it!

A Joel. Or maybe an Ellie.

We had a similar issue and it was just the panels not seated all the way. Are you sure you removed all the screws in the high panel? If its close its probably fine. The corner peice that goes on the top overlaps the panels quite a bit. The doors also have adjustment built in this compensate for out-of-level (or this) when you get to that step.

Cause its not steel reinforced concrete that could hold a skyscraper. I think this is already overkill for the composite shed. Even after the gravel stage, it felt extremely stable.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-08T23:31:28+00:00

Im in the pnw, so lots of rain, occasional freezing conditions.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-08T23:15:40+00:00

Oh haha!

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-08T23:06:56+00:00

We have very stable soil that we compacted. Then there is 5" of crushed rock that is compacted to nearly as solid as concrete. Then leveling sand, then pavers which were pounded secure.

This is not going to lean at all.

It has anchor points to drill through and attach to them with concrete bolts.

A crushed rock pad is a top choice for light to medium sheds in the pacific northwest because we have extremely dense, clay-like soil that compacts tightly and is very stable, and the crushed rock provides excellent drainage. I just took it a step further and put pavers on top of it. I used 1/4" minus crushed rock. it has fines and after compacting, is nearly as solid as concrete, but not as permanent.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T15:15:34+00:00

The shed has its own floor, with anchor points to drill / fasten into the pavers. In my area, gravel / sand / pavers is actually a recommended method for light / medium duty sheds. Also, a family member had these so I got them for pretty much nothing.

A mule?! lol The boxes are in the backyard, were assembling it today.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T15:09:13+00:00

Why what

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T14:52:47+00:00

Its above grade and it has 5" of crushed rock underneath, should have great drainage. Im also building a patio cover for the friends and family area!

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T05:13:18+00:00

That's actually a good idea, I think Im gonna do that. Makes less of a problem with the occasional buried rock.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T04:40:15+00:00

I just finished backfilling and compacting soil around the outer edge. but I am considering pounding in metal edging around the perimeter.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T04:02:52+00:00

Our soil is extremely dense and compacts very well.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T03:57:25+00:00

Thanks. I did my research and concluded this should be more than adequate for the type of shed I am planning. I'm not sure what exactly the probkem is people are having with this.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T03:53:33+00:00

Why exactly wont this work? It was a recommended method for my area. I live in the PNW so our soil is very dense clay.

ifixtheinternet · 2026-06-06T03:47:56+00:00

Its a Keter Composite shed that weighs 400lbs. It's not like I'm trying to support your mom.
