It's gonna be a bad Friday if this is how it starts

yooo how did this even happen?

Did the failed print push off the clips?

@thebiochemic I'm guessing so. I can't even find one of the clips anymore so thankfully I have a bunch lol

I was literally gone 20 minutes lol

Machines are taking over

@jester5537 oh that's super annoying when they get lost

i upgraded to this PEI + Springsteel Sheet, and didn't have this type of issue since.

Offtopic, but kinda not: looks like your Print assembly is modified, did you replace the hotend?

@thebiochemic kinda... The actual hotend part is the same I just printed a new shroud and replaced the fans

@jester5537 ooh i see ^^
i always love to see fellow Ender3v2 folks around, doing cool stuff with their printers

This makes me glad i havent bought a 3d printer yet.

Just to be clear... i have some, and have owned/used 3d printers/printing since way before it was a well known term... just mostly made of c++, arduinos and several printer assemblies... cuz the normal printer market is ridiculous, cheaper to buy new than the ink... and u need to hack a dev to refill ink manually. But at least they have precise track assemblies with ok (low power... *meh*) motors.

That said... though it seems like an awesome idea to enhance the strength of several lasers, redirecting them into 1 multi-frequency, precise point to use it as an automated cutting/refinement extension to a 3d printer... it takes waaay more effort to calibrate cuz the materials it comes into contact with... you reeeeally need to check the spark point properties on... or things tend to go boom (several literally... also simple fires)

Im kinda glad I didn't get an ender after all!

Now to babysit my print before it catches what ever yours caught.

@awesomeest what i did is buy an old laser printer for 20 bucks. The best investment you could ever do, if you need a printer that just works, and doesn't need fiddling.

and i'm also happy that i have a ender 3, whenever something breaks, you can just order some aftermarket part that is either the same or better and install it. You can tinker around with'em, but with some small adjustments my two 3d printers work like a charm for atleast 9 Months now (that is: without a single failed print)

I literally put gcode on sdcard, put in printer, start it, and go do something else.
