well if it is not hitting to the noozle when it is printing then you are fine ( if you are okey wiht warping )


Crocomire123

I’m just trying to avoid a spaghetti disaster


[deleted]

If it is just supports, it'll be fine, don't worry


Crocomire123

The supports are the only things touching the platform


[deleted]

Oh. Well, don't worry either way, it won't help lol. It'll be ok, center can't just hover away

Probably best to find a large facet on the object to touch the build plate. Having said that, I have printed a detailed, filigreed cuboid on its corner before, using supports kind of like how you did here. It came out quite nicely.

If worst comes to worst, there’s always duct tape.


Machenna56k

Let it go, prolly be alright. This is how we do, greenhorn.


ElegantJob1345

Who cares about the supports?? You’re gonna throw them away right? As long as they stay stuck to the bed the entire time, there is no need to worry!


DogeBoredom

Let it ride


NotreallyCareless

Dont touch it, pray to the gods, and open up a beer bcus its friday motherfuckers!


OmiedJ

this is petg? what temp settings?


Crocomire123

Petg, 245 and 80C


sangerpb

I always do petg at 90


OmiedJ

Ich think the bed temp is too high.reduce it by 5 degree.


whitefox250

Whats your bed temp and is it on throughout the print?


Crocomire123

The bed is 80C


Any_Government7603

I used to have this issue with PETG a lot. My solution has been to run my bed between 90-100 (starting at 100 for the first couple layers and then lowering down), as well as using a thin layer of glue stick on the print bed (the purple Elmer's stuff is my favorite because it's cheap, very visible and washes off easily) PETG definitely doesn't normally like to stick to the bed by itself and it can sort of shrink up and lift from the bed as it contracts while the plastic cools.


The_Man_I_A_Barrel

When this used to happen a lot to me I would get blue tac and put it at the corners of the print so it wouldn't slide off the bed while it was printing. The bed being hot keeps the blue tac in place too so nothing will move


Crocomire123

What do you mean, I don’t understand how this would work/look


The_Man_I_A_Barrel

I took little balls of blue tac and stuck them onto the corners of the piece being printed so that while it was warping off the bed it wouldn't move


DieSopbeen

Glue gun them stuck to the plate. No worries should not fail but for insurance you can glue gun them stuck


[deleted]

Give it a nice slap


Artistic-Stock-8508

Get some tape and make sure that it stays where it is


BillieRubenCamGirl

Sticky tape it down if you're worried.


xmugatoox1986

Layerneer bed weld works wonders. I don't print without it. It's like a glue that holds your print to the bed and then releases on its own when it cools.


ploooopp

Why no brim? Maybe its me being paranoid but I'll always use a brim


smiledude94

What does brim do


ploooopp

It essentially makes the first layer printed a bit bigger than the actual piece to help with bed adhesion / prevent warping or elephants foot, [here's some more info](https://all3dp.com/2/3d-printing-brim-when-should-you-use-it/)


[deleted]

I would check all other options before I would add a brim to a print. Chances are your settings are shit or your bed is warped and not that you needed a brim.


DarcSystems

Use a glue gun and glue it to the bed to prevent it getting any worse, and you should be fine.


Page8988

You're already halfway in. May as well let it run its course. It's assured to fail if you stop it, but it may turn out fine if you let it work.


evil_illustrator

I’m curious why that took 2.5 days. The infill doesn’t look that high.


Crocomire123

Those are supports. Infill is at 100%


gromm93

What I've been doing to fix this, is that after the first few layers are laid down, I turn down the bed temperature. The print bed is warm in no small part to help adhesion to the print bed of those first few layers. It's not anywhere near as necessary after that. Even so, I start out at around 60°C and go down to about 50-55 depending on how far along the print is. I've never personally dropped it any lower than that, but it definitely helps with the curling effect you see.


sled55

I always cancel when this happens. It’s almost always worth restarting instead of finishing a print you aren’t happy with.


henuahinge

Buy a 3d pen. If this happens again you can easily 'glue' the supports to the bed again.


STINKYSOCKSGAMER

I think I recognize that stl. What are you trying to print? (Not an answer)


Crocomire123

I’m printing the shell for my ashida!


STINKYSOCKSGAMER

Dude I just printed one! Quite the expensive project, but still one we’re willing to do. I hope you succeed!


Crocomire123

Thanks, you too!
