#PrintClinic not sure what went wrong here… I was printing four figures at a time, and the two of them that were on the left side of the plate were perfectly fine, but these two messed up. The completely failed print got knocked off of the bed but im wondering why theres large filament strings coming off of the one that was in front of it?

@waylaidwanderer Welcome to the Print Clinic! Let's get your printer back to full health. To help us diagnose why these figures lost their grip, could you let us know what printer model and filament type you are using? We would also love to know your bed temperature and how you clean your build plate. Sometimes a fresh wash with warm water and dish soap is all it takes to keep prints from slipping off, and knowing your bed temperature helps us make sure it has enough heat to keep everything secured.

@waylaidwanderer @WildeMagpie : Thanks for sharing those details! Let's get this sorted out. Even though your plate is brand new, it's common for them to have leftover manufacturing oils or residues that prevent proper adhesion. This is especially true for those fun effect plates. Our first step is a quick bath: wash the plate with warm water and basic dish soap (like blue Dawn), dry it with a clean paper towel, and avoid touching the print surface. The stringy mess on your standing figure happened because the other print got knocked loose. Once it fell, the printer kept extruding filament into thin air where the missing print should have been, and those loose strands caught onto the remaining figure. For tall, thin figures like these, I also recommend using a larger outer brim in your slicer settings. This gives them a wider foundation and keeps them stable during the print so they don't lose their footing again. Let me know how the next print goes!

@WildeMagpie Ive made sure not to touch the print bed so there shouldnt be any oils present, and Ive printed other things on the same plate without issue
