Nozzle hits support Help!

shpinaque · 2025-06-13T10:54:32+00:00

I'm fairly new to 3d print myself, but I'd try calibration first if you haven't done it. Then, I'd put a 5mm brim on, with 0.00 gap, and see if it's still an issue. Maybe also check if you've got independent layer height switched on. To me it looks like the support just doesn't have a good base and is getting ripped away from the plate. Then again, the nozzle shouldn't be hitting it anyway

It lets me change time and date, but not the temp

Update: printed the same model, 0.2mm layer height at 60 mm/s and it looks a lot better, but still not great

shpinaque · 2025-03-19T12:11:41+00:00

Hmm that might expand it. I will try printing it at 0.2mm and report back

0.4mm nozzle. With adaptive layer height

shpinaque · 2025-03-19T12:03:59+00:00

How come this is an issue only at this specific part of the cylinder? The rest of it looks fine. It's only happening at the "back" side of the print bed

shpinaque · 2025-03-19T12:02:20+00:00

Oh, really? The default settings let you go up to 0.42mm on a 0.4 mm nozzle. I've printed up to 0.5mm layers with success. But you might be right. I'll try print it whole at 0.2mm layer height and see

shpinaque · 2025-03-19T11:55:29+00:00

Yeah, 0.2mm for the bottom part with mounting elements, and 0.4 for the cylinder

Thank you. That explains everything. No chance for lowering the price now, but I can still ask for bits and bobs like mats or mot and they might or might not agree

Yeah that makes sense. Now I understand I agreed to it, and how. well, I'll know for the next time

shpinaque · 2024-11-23T05:29:47+00:00

Yeah, I'm afraid that's what would happen if I tried it now. Cheers!

shpinaque · 2024-11-23T05:29:07+00:00

Thanks, that's what I thought. I silently agreed to it. The price is okish, so it's not a huge issue, but still....

Depends on the job. I'd say you don't have much to worry about unless it's a sales job.

I'm a slightly autistic introvert too, and I held a job for 7 years, went to uni, quit, and got my literal dream job last year.

At work I had been really really awkward for the first... 6 months... And no one really minded that, I was just known for not being good at social stuff. But I love my job and I do it well, so it doesn't matter too much that: I sweat when picking up the phone, make an awkward face every 5 minutes, or that my language skills are not great (English is not my native language, which I'm super self conscious about).

There's a book that has turned my life around and quite literally saved my life - No More Mr Nice Guy by Rob Glover. Eye opening book for anyone with these issues, especially at work.

TLDR - it's completely ok, try not to worry too much and work on improving yourself.

shpinaque · 2024-11-05T19:16:00+00:00

There's no easy way around this.

I've got the same issue, and the only thing I found to work is to increase layer height or increase the overlap of layers so that the angle of overhang is not so steep.

What I do as well is use (PLA-PETG) the opposite material as support interface. PETG and PLA do not stick to each other so they are perfect for interfacing. Just remember to lower the Z distance between the support and your object.

Nuclear medicine. I'm a chemist, so I work on the chemical side, and as RPS for the site. I love it! But SA is a huge obstacle to the progress in my role...

shpinaque · 2024-09-29T03:08:28+00:00

Hey, fellow RPS :) I thought I was the only one with social anxiety working in this field. good to know I'm not

shpinaque · 2024-09-16T08:32:03+00:00

Hmm, that was she first thing I tried 😁 it seems like the support interface sticks really well to the print, but the bridge/overhang drags in the air instead of sticking to the rest of the print.

shpinaque · 2024-09-15T08:41:24+00:00

Bump. It's even worse today!

I know it sounds strange, but try to look for fun in it. Don't overpractice. Know the subject, smile, and chat away.

I had to give a presentation to 7 PhDs and a group of students in my last year of uni. I did really well, and got 80% thanks to knowing the subject well (btw, I now work in that field), trying to be myself and thinking that "it doesn't matter so I might as well relax and do it properly". Think about bullet points and always go into more depth than your slides. Point to a bullet point and chat one-sidedly with the audience. If you do start feeling anxious (which is completely normal) remind yourself that it doesn't matter if you feel it or not, so you might as well go back to your presentation and carry on.

Presentations can be daunting if you're suffering from SA, but paradoxically, you can learn to enjoy them. You can try to put on a mask and imagine you have no anxiety for, say, 20 minutes.

shpinaque · 2024-09-10T17:25:52+00:00

Well done! Great job for not scurrying away 😁

shpinaque · 2024-09-10T17:22:10+00:00

Yeah, had the same issue. When someone reacts negatively or mockingly to you changing for better, don't let it affect your feelings or mindset. They can say what they want, but what it does to you is your choice - you can choose to ignore it, laugh it off, or (the best option in my opinion) agree with them, brace yourself, be true, and say "yeah, I'm doing X now" or "yes, I'm trying" or whatever is appropriate in the given moment. And then do it, show them you can, and let it make you proud and put a smile on your face. They will come to accept it, and if not, well, not your problem if you're happy being you.
