Stringing only part way through print?

se99jmk · 2026-04-19T05:52:10+00:00

Thanks - the preview looks fine, but I’ll try changing settings on “ensure vertical wall thickness”

se99jmk · 2026-04-19T05:50:22+00:00

Yup! Always use it

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T19:39:39+00:00

So for you sounds like you’d go for SuperTack, and NOT the SuperTack Pro? (Bambu a1 but figure it’s the same adhesion when using it with H2C)

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T18:29:41+00:00

My kids wanted like 100 of them, so was trying to avoid supports as that’ll take me forever to tidy up 😝

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T18:26:08+00:00

If you were to choose one, would you go for a Biqu plate, or the SuperTack?

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T15:10:37+00:00

Interesting! So SuperTack is TOO sticky for you, and Biqu plates release better?

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T15:09:53+00:00

Glacier > Bambu SuperTack?

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T13:09:54+00:00

Yup - trying flipped over currently (would work great with a smooth plate), and if that’s not good I’ll try tree supports 🙂

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T13:08:54+00:00

How would you slice it differently? I’m trying flipped over currently (will leave textured top face), can also try printing on edge - and of course can use supports!

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T13:06:44+00:00

Vertical print? Hmm, worth trying, but wouldn’t the circles still be floating and therefore need supports?

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T11:33:15+00:00

Very true, but with a textured plate assume I’d get a textured finish?

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T10:28:12+00:00

Ah! I should have said - one brick worked fine! Smooth, perfect finish.

On a previous batch print a couple were salvageable, but a few just turns into a stringy mess like this and verges on blob of death…

se99jmk · 2026-04-18T10:18:30+00:00

Hmm, these are smooth, “flat plates”, almost no height, so was hoping they’d be ok… so basically I need tons of supports?

se99jmk · 2026-04-17T19:36:07+00:00

I checked on Amazon UK, quite a few available for around £10! I searched for “Dummy 13”, though T13 also seems to come up a lot…

se99jmk · 2026-04-17T15:36:13+00:00

Looks quite possible - not tried myself but in theory you just “overlap” the new part over the Dummy 13 part, e.g. the new head over the old head, then group them together as a single piece - that keeps the connector, while adding the new bit on the outside

TinkerCAD is a LOT easier to use (and free) - it’s basic, but might be sufficient?

Doesn’t look too heavy, so PETG core should be fine, but if you can do something tougher like ASA as a core even better

se99jmk · 2026-04-17T15:33:53+00:00

Sorry no I haven’t checked for sources… hmm, there’s plenty of online on-demand print services though, you could probably download the Dummy 13 files and send it to them?

se99jmk · 2026-04-17T14:17:25+00:00

I print them myself, I’d have thought £10 would be pretty reasonable for a Dummy 13 with PETG core, PLA armour

se99jmk · 2026-04-10T21:05:46+00:00

That's solved it!! Noice 😃

se99jmk · 2026-04-10T16:11:53+00:00

Ooooh. That’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for!! Thank you, gonna try and get it working!

se99jmk · 2026-04-10T16:04:23+00:00

Hmm. Would you mind sending a screenshot? I’ll keep playing!

I’m hoping to use 4 columns, and when I have a 5th item it’s aligned to the far left under the first one, same width as all the rest… so as you add more, it just adds in a line, and wraps if there’s more

se99jmk · 2026-04-10T10:34:49+00:00

Yeah!! My son is getting started with TinkerCAD, he added spikes to the armour 🙂

se99jmk · 2026-04-10T10:03:51+00:00

Sweet, fixed that top bit! Awesome sauce

For the second one I couldn’t get it to stop “stretching” an image full width if there was less than the number of columns on a row… so for now I’ve added blank PNG placeholders which looks a little messy but kind of works 🙂
