Large Prints LARGE PROBLEMS

Post by 3Dbossman »

Hellllo fellow 3D printer printers :D ,

Were having trouble printing large pieces that take over 17 hrs. We are trying to build a circular (10in diameter) with different types of features on the top. Every time we do so the print ends up malfunctioning in some way. Both times the printer ended up picking up filament and dragging it around the print area which resulted in a giant ball of filament. We have tried to change the resolution as well as the temperature controls. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did they go about fixing this?

It's not sticking to the build plate, is that right? What material are you printing? How are you prepping the build plate? What are the printer settings? Do you have a picture?
