What I learned from a total 3D printing disaster

Подробнее о видео

Sometimes a project just doesn’t work out, and this was one of those times. In this video, I walk you through the full postmortem of a 36-hour 3D print that went completely sideways. From failed support structures to filament waste, to tiny design details that never even showed up, this was a disaster from almost every angle. But there’s a lot to learn when things go wrong.

You’ll see how I tried to salvage the print using an ultrasonic cutter, how my slicer settings may have played a role, and why skipping a purge tower might have been a big mistake. I’ll also share what worked (surprisingly, some things did), and give you a look at the tools I used and whether I’d use them again.

Whether you’re new to 3D printing or have dozens of rolls of filament under your belt, there’s something here for you. Learn from my experience so your next print doesn’t end up in the failed-projects bin.
