3DPrinting

We’re gonna need way more than that if we’re going to help you.

• printer info
• materials- both what your printing in, and in fdm, what you’re printing on, etc
• the actual problem you’re having
• your offering to the goddess of spaghetti prints.

Edit: did naiboofTabr drop photos of the problem? on that assumption... how's you're layer adhesion generally? I would recommend testing that with a spiral-mode tower- take any solid shape- I use calibration cubes changed in the slicer to be 10x10x50mm and print it in spiral mode, testing layer adhesion by seeing how well the single perimeter is stuck- and also, filling it with water and checking for seeping. this also lets you check for flow settings and such.

if that test print comes out good, then, it's possibly being created by stress risers in the part itself. Specifically near where the bridges come down. As you drop each layer, it cools off, shrinking a bit, changes in cross section between layers, that force can cause it to be weak in that specific spot no matter how good your layer adhesion normally is.

The other thing I'm seeing is a nice long tall lever being printed on. While normally negligible, there is some pull as the nozzle moves over the part. Being tall and skinny like that turns it into a bit of a spring.

Assuming your layer adhesion is okay, I would suggest tackling the other two problems with a change in the part itself. increase the number of bridges connecting things, while also staggering their connections across the vertical axis. Also, consider changing the bridge's geometry. Another option here is, to instead angle the pillars so they criss-cross, becoming both the pillar and the bridge.

also, I would suggest checking your flow and estep calibration as well as running a temp tower if you've not done it. I like the teaching tech guides, and their troubleshooting section is also generally helpful.

To display images inline you need to add an exclamation point before the square brackets, like this:

But also you want to use the direct link to the image itself, not the Dropbox page for the image, so this:

The problem here is that the vertical bars are too tall and thin. You have to think of each one as a lever while the top is unfinished and not connected. The bottom part where it's connected is the fulcrum, and the nozzle is the load. When the nozzle is printing at the top of the bar, it is pulling on the bar in the direction of movement, causing it to bend. If there's a weak point it will snap.

You could fix this by making the bars thicker, or by increasing the number of horizontal connections so that the unsupported vertical pieces aren't as tall, or possibly by slowing down your print speed - but it's really a design issue.
