The New 3D Printing Thread

Hi Super,

Yes unfortunately that can happen if you try to print a layer into thin air you end up with just strings of plastic which can then get stuck elsewhere which cause even more issues.

The waste is effectively the supports for the inside of the top of the boiler and cab roof. Although you can get away with some 'overhangs' if the overhang is too large you have to have supports to make sure the layers get printed in the right place. This can result in quite a lot of waste at times, but not as much waste as a totally failed model.

I will try to fix the model by adding some extra layers where I think they may be needed and print it again. If I can fix the model I'll let you guys know where the corrected model can be downloaded from.
