So uhh, anyone know how this even happens? Just left it printing overnight and came back to this, no supports inside at all, just fallen filament from the top
I've found that these errors are consistent with the slicer's output, so it's repeatable. I've never figured out why it occurs, though. The most common error I've encountered is when there are multiple contact points for the print and they all converge; sometimes a contact point will be offset from where it should be, so it doesn't converge. You get something like an isolated leg of an animal, then a bunch of drooping strands of filament where it should attach because the printer carries on as though the leg is present. Not sure if that makes sense. Bambu Studio does it more than any other slicer I've used.
Capable in the wrong ways apparently cause it loves to mess up files a lot and I guess it loves doing it so much it would break the laws of physics to do so.
It looks like you had supports on the other end since it would be impossible to print the downward facing part on the butt without them. You were printing a bridge which is when you to print an unsupported horizontal span across two points by cooling the filament to the point where it can hold itself up when the print head drags itself across. This works as long as the distance between the ends isn’t too long.
Do people not inspect their G-code before printing? I always flick through the layers and look at the movement pattern for a layer or two. You catch so many oddities with just basic inspections
If this were the medieval times we would probably have to put you on trial for this blatant witchcraft. Like wtf? Makes us look bad when we all tell a newbie to turn on supports.
I used Dremel so the only thing support wise I could use is the vertical supports. Even then it shouldn't have done anything to the middle of the entire thing
Are you entirely sure you didn't remove something from the other end? Those little loose fibers look like something has been snapped off.
Cause I cannot imagine how this could possibly have printed like this without insane cooling pointed in the right direction and a slow speed. Like this is not even a bridge, there's nothing on the other end to hold onto...
So... this is a stretch, but it kind of looks as if it somehow aggressively jumped up in the middle of a layer. I'm willing to bet if you chopped it at the point that is still connected and sanded it down a little, it would line up almost perfectly. Have you had any issues on other prints around that height, even just small imperfections? Something small can snowball rather quickly. Any weird noises from your printer? Do you have animals, it's unlikely the Z-axis would be the one affected but, seeing as you have this, I suppose nothing's impossible.
That is... actually kind of impressive.. how exactly that happened.. no idea, but the fact that it even managed to print that is impressive lol

Print a set of airplane wings as an insert.
Genius
Jolteon Zero: Jager
I think I got the reference but am not 100% certain, lmao
Zoids!
A friend and I were just nerding out about both being into Zoids as kids! God, what I would do for a good modern Zoids videogame.
Jaeger or Scheider? Maybe the Phoenixe fusion form?
Wasn't it Schneider (with an "n")? Its been a long time since I've seen Zoids
Try that intentionally and it will never work.
The real question is if you just pressed print again would it make another?
@OP please do it and film it
Hmm… observing it may change the outcome, though
Unexpected quantum mechanics
Unexpected outer wilds reference

no idea how that happened but your bridging/overhangs are DIALED IN
Looks like you tried to print a 3D model with non-manifold edges. Slicers don't like that.
But like, how did it print like this and not spaghettify?
Maybe your printer's cooling is more capable than you thought?

You HAVE to print this again and record. Please.

It’s not downward facing it just snapped off and is now hanging

I don't even know how to turn them off😭
Apparently your printer does
Not helping your case, witch.
If they float .. they're a witch!
bro levelled up from bridging to cantilevering
I’m confused, impressed, scared, and curious
Slow clap
Forgot to mention but the model is not mine, it's one I got off of thingiverse and wanted to print.
I thought it was intentional for like a shelf or desk to have a Pokemon kinda embedded in a desk, though as others have said damn fine bridging
It wasn't part of the model tho. This was the printer somehow messing up but that is a cool idea if I can get it to stay
I ate your filament. Sorgy
😭
Life, uh, finds a way.
It sure does. May to break a few laws to do it but it does
Task failed sucessfully...?
Just, wow I don’t even know how that’s possible
I'm trying to think of options.... Did you switch a support blocker with a hole option maybe?
I used Dremel so the only thing support wise I could use is the vertical supports. Even then it shouldn't have done anything to the middle of the entire thing
Lol. Dremel builds Printer? 😆 It's so random. Because they mostly did multifunction tools like sanding stuff.
On the slicer side of things I've seen this kind of geometry from non manifold meshes
My best guess is the STL was corrupted or somthing but I have literally no clue tbh
Show it on the slicer, honestly. I suspect it was printed at an angle that makes sense to produce this result.
Got smacked in the ass too hard
best eevelution.
Hey! Did you know...
Looks like the nozzle dragged stray filament and built accidental bridges. Wild result though!
Check the timelapse from the printer
Printer used Cut…
…It’s super effective!
looks nice
Okay no seriously how does physics even allow that

No chance you didn't put support in this area and removed it for this picture.
Sorry I use world edit and I guess I clipped it
It forgor

Ok who turned off gravity.
What printer was this? That's honestly a sales pitch of a print right there
Mission failed successfully
Can you look at your slicer and see if theres anything different or weird at these layers
Looks like a layer error issue
Jolteon? More like a Jolteoff
Bethesda
Ok I know you already asked this, but HOW?? Like how did this part even print?? We need a video of it printing again! Please OP

Now that's a new one
If it doesn't matter, break/cut it and take pictures from the top inside - it may shed some light on how it happened.
The new Ghost type Eeveelution 👏🏼
I'd love to see the time lapse video
Looks like some sort of slicer error ive seen similar issues before but never with such overhangs
