Someone has messed up the black 3D printer

Hi guys,
I came in this morning, someone had left the 3d printer printing. The 3d
print is now a birds nest of whatever the material is called. They failed
to undo the knot so it was free to roll. The material was so taught the
printer was hung up by it. I’ve managed to lower it down flat. Can’t be
good for the poor printer head/ motor being hung up like that. It’s now
given up but the bed is a mess.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for reporting this and turning it off. I’ll get it re calibrated
and back up and running tonight. Sometimes these things happen, filament
sometimes manages to knot itself on the spool and asking people to sit
watching it for a 12 hour print isn’t realistic :slight_smile:

Maybe a new spool/feed system could be added to remove this problem.
This could be added to the list for hack the space day.On 27 Nov 2014 10:52, “Bob Clough” bob@clough.me wrote:
