Re: small section failed on print
Thanks everyone, I reprinted it with slightly thicker, tapered supports and I angled it as well. Came out perfect. I also printed another square on ring like the cad picture in the thread with thicker supports, and that came out perfect as well. I've also taken on board the base comment. thanks very...

small section failed on print
Does anybody know why this small section failed to print? have i not supported it correctly? are the supports not thick enough? It was also printed square on so should something like this be angled slightly? also part of the ring seems sunken inwards. can anybody explain this as well?
thanks
thanks

Re: 2 rings 1 design 1 failed print

Re: 2 rings 1 design 1 failed print
the printer wasn't knocked as far as i'm aware and i had to wait for the last 20 minutes of the print to finish and all that was on the laptop screen was the slice view. I'm re printing the model this morning so will post pictures of the result later.
thanks
thanks

2 rings 1 design 1 failed print
Hi, I printed 2 rings of the same design, 1 a gents and 1 a ladies, and the top inlay section of the gents failed to print correctly. Also, about half way up on both models the print appears to have moved 1mm to the side and continued printing. Does anybody know why either of these errors have occur...
