Project Help 2 prong adapter

[jonhutty]

Hi guys im making an adapter which has 2 prongs from the main base but everytime it gets too the forward prongs it prints right upto that points and then fails everytime i have tried priting this out 5 times now used nearly half a spool of pla . I have even tried redoing the design 3 different times in different calibrations and still does the same at the same point. It fails everytime once its about to print the prongs has i have run the part even through 3d builder too see if i had any unknown errors it come up empty. So if anyone could help with this i would be extremely greatfull has i dont want to keep wasting pla trying to hope it will eventually print, so here is the link to my fusion 360 file hope you can help solve this thanks all https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsGFSPoAMiaYmz4ix18r7cUcTnOz

@jonhutty 

Did you figure out the issue?

[jonhutty]

My printer is xvico x3s pro and slicer cura ill add all the files which have ended the same spot everytime in multiple different examples ill pass on my one drive, link too the full folder below ok my friend.

My very latest design and attempt is the 18/08/21 but still failed at the same height.

[davebYYPCU]

Couple of things, 

This part is called Adjustable ...

The idea is to allow swivel or hinging within it?  Would explain the multiple bodies a bit earlier.

What printer?

What Slicer?  

Does Slicer Preview show the finished part?

How high is it when it stops?  

Time taken till it stops?  

Are you seeing / watching the stoppage, any error message?

What method does the code get to the printer?

Can you attach the GCode file, if applicable.  Add to a Zip File, and attach it that way.....

Run my file, 

Does it stop at the same height?

[jonhutty]

But for your questions no errors the height when stopping is on my latest edit was 45.45mm height and the subsequent file which you have edited is 48.11mm in height when stopped i hope this helps.

Hi cadwhisperer ill try yours later today hung up at present urgent matter i need to sort out today but what I wanted to ask your file is it exact copy to mine ie holes and thread or the length of prongs dimension, space between the cut in and too base. Or do I need to edit it myself to make it match the part I'm trying to recreate let me know thanks

[davebYYPCU]

No errors, Ok, 

does the machine stop / slow down pushing filament , but print head keeps on going, 

or the machine stops dead, and melts the top of the job as it sits?

I have found one review mention Heat Creep, and that is a Machine design fault, sounds like the cooling fan and or the design is allowing the heat creep, where the filament will clog, but machine keeps on going....

Other prints that were successful were shorter or longer as time to print,

more than one hour to stop is printer not slicer.

I sent you - your latest Fusion file converted to your machine GCode file to put on the SD card and print.  My settings should not be far off as a test.

Heat Creep does not show up for at least and hour of printing.

Make sure the SD card is not full.....

Might help....

Too cadwhisperer Stops dead on top and melts filament on top of the project. At the height I mentioned everytime the latest edit I did thats all in one no other bodies. But I have never watch the full preview in cura I just jump straight forward or use 3d builder to check for errors.

[jonhutty]

Hi mango i guess that link is to check gcode for any errors so thanks for that ill check them in that when I get home 

[davebYYPCU]

Then it is a Warranty claim for service from the maker, probably not heat creep.

Take some photos of your attempts, keep a copy of your sd card and send them the original.

They may already know about this problem....

Thanks for your comments dave I'll take a look at that now its weekend im going to run cadwhisperes file and go from there if it still stops at the same position ill get intouch but to be honest other prints have been fine it just seems to do it with this one. So maybe its just a file issue ill know more after I run cadwhisperers file tomorrow. I'll then post with pics the outcome but thanks again guys for all the help and assists thanks.

[jonhutty]

No my friend forsome reason still wouldn't fully print have you tried printing it out at all has yours fully printed. I just do not know why its not fully printing when I don't have any other problem with other prints. Has I also just finished and fully printed a buffer tube. So don't know with this if yours has fully printed let me know guys thanks for all your help it means alot to us new learners so thanks

No I did not print your article here, 

Now that the printer does successfully print other articles, it will come down to the SD card, and or the file on it.

Please save the file you are printing - printer file   - (xxxx.gcode)

Put that file into a Zip file, add the zip file to a message, and I can read those here.

Please confirm the SD card has enough memory area to actually save the file on it.

I sent you a printer file earlier,

did you print it?

did it fail?
