I left the print over the weekend and I came back to spaghetti. It looks like something, caused the printer to push the print off its base like it was a poorly leveled bed?

I still have to watch the camera footage to see what failed, but I hope you guys get a chuckle out of the spaghetti monster like I did.

    I have! This printer actually finished a 3ft sailboat rudder before this print. I popped some pictures of it in as well

    Do you think that could be be solved by adjusting the z offset?

      If the print didn’t come off the bed, I don’t think adjusting z-offset will help. As prints get taller, if you’re running into issues with warping the corners will start to curl up.

      Your printer definitely missed some x or y steps. Whether that was due to your drivers getting too hot and just that, or the extruder running into the print. Have you ever seen your printer do this:

        No, that’s a new one.

        Would greasing my gantry screw help?

        If I’m missing steps due to heat is the only solution a new motherboard?

          If it’s heat it could also be a cooling thing. If you search the web on your search engine of choice for “<printer name> driver overheat” you’ll see what solutions the community has already come up with.
