@cwbullet

haha that's hilarious!  I get lazy after having several good prints in a row and don't watch close enough.  Octoprint camera interface makes it so easy too.

I went to work and come home to that!

RE: Failed Prints (Hall of Shame)

Here's a few that I will grudgingly admit to, nothing very spectacular, however.

I have created an ongoing 3d Print Blob Of Doom gallery on flickr, which has some more spectacular failures, most of which are damaging to the machine.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.  Thanks for sharing!

You're not the only one.  I daresay that almost everyone here has had their fair share of failed prints, whether it's printing errors, drafting errors or designs that just don't serve their purpose.  I would also say that most failed prints don't result in spectacular or even amusing results.

Here's an older gallery of failed prints if you want some more examples.  This is not mine, and it's been around for a while and does not look like it's been updated or added to in some time.

We should keep this thread going.  It lets newbies know that crap happens.  

RE: Failed Prints (Hall of Shame)

This is my most glorious fail to date, although TBH it was not on a Prusa 😉

Was a PSU Shroud I designed for my PC build, looked to be proceeding very well and adhered well to bed, so I went to my bed, got up the the morning to a trail of filament almost onto the floor.  And a huge blob of solid filament around the head. 

Looks like it warped off the bed and clattered the nozzle.

Only took the photo once it was off the bed and cleaned up the mess so missed a trick, ill be sure to catch the next one in the act!!

Sure my MK3+ will be perfect 😋

First few layers with some support loosing adhesion and creating some "nice" cover around the hotend within 2 hours of being unobserved... 🙄 

RE: Failed Prints (Hall of Shame)

You could flatten that out and use as a doily

Looks a vary similar failure to mine
