As OP, I'm curious too 🤔 Do we have 3D printer expert here? @VelvetStorm@lemmy.world

print fell, the legs fell down and the printer kept printing onto nothing, so enjoy the spaghetti. Sometimes when moving around the nozzle can snag the parts and make them fall. Z-hop helps against that but it can't do miracles. As VelvetStorm@lemmy.world mentioned, you need supports.

Unless you are printing something that is basically just a horizontal sheet like a lithograph, you always need supports.

Thx, so I researched it a bit; so Z-hop means little up-and-down movement between the parts and "support" is literally an extra part independent from the main part, used for support, if I understood correct.

I watched the video again and it seems that the problem is not due to the foot falling, but in the part where the two legs join 🤔
