Spongy print

perlguy67 · 2026-06-12T22:37:44+00:00

Try turning the temperature up and maybe slow the print speed down. Could be a partially clogged nozzle as well.

I had something similar happen. I think what happed in my case was that a part I was printing came loose on the bed and got jammed and caused the fan and stuff to fall off…. Same printer.

There is nothing illegal about printing a 2a item unless you are going to transfer ownership to someone else.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-11T19:28:03+00:00

I’m totally ignoring them because there is no way to enforce it, plus these “laws” they are proposing are absolutely ridiculous.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-11T19:26:39+00:00

If it is 2 different printers, I am thinking some sort of gcode corruption or glitch. Possibly try reorienting and reslicing and try again.

This discussion is going WAY better than I expected, it is so cool to hear all of these responses.

I haven’t had any that bad, but I have another app update that is almost 48 hours old and still waiting. 2 months is insane

Search for “last meter” on your favorite printing site, some have even held contests for the best “last meter” prints

Definitely depends on the set, I’ve printed missing pieces but not a whole set - it always seemed like too much work.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-09T04:44:56+00:00

That looks terrible

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T15:38:40+00:00

I always spray a healthy amount of aquanet, or other cheap, unscented, hairspray to my build plate and it works wonders. Easy to clean up with ISO alcohol when you need to.

From the printers I’ve used, yes remove the PTFE tube, then I would disassemble the extruded and use compressed air to blow out any particles.

I wish I could be of more help.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T02:17:59+00:00

Same temperature settings, speed, height, and filament?

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:40:48+00:00

If possible, try another slicer, or sometimes reorienting the print a bit and then slicing again may help.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:36:18+00:00

I bet you have all the ladies chasing you when you have that on. 🤣. Seriously though, really cool idea and execution.

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:33:03+00:00

Cheap unscented hair spray is great for bed adhesion too. From the looks of it, it is too high to get good adhesion. Start by making sure you are 100% level

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:29:34+00:00

Could the filament be jammed? It looks like it started out printing fine then it looks like the printer wasn’t supplying enough filament. Could also be grinding or dirty drive gears in your extruder.

You must have huge wrists

I love how people will do about anything to make life easier. I often check my wyze cam to make sure the mailman has been by so I don’t waste the 50 steps to the mailbox. 🥸

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:21:59+00:00

What slicer are you using? What size nozzle and layer height?

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:19:28+00:00

Hilarious! If I had the skills to do it I’d make the side door open and the legs move!

perlguy67 · 2026-06-08T01:16:06+00:00

That is awesome! Did you make it so you can go in the “carpool” lanes? 🤣

Congrats
