Help Printing Astro-Pi
Hello,
I've tried to print Astro-Pi case: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/astro-pi-flight-case
Bottom case came out just fine. I cannot finish the middle section. My printer keeps crashing - last crash was about z=30.15 I resliced it twice - with different settings - and changed filament to a different maker.
Could someone with more experience in 3D modeling and/or slicing assist here please?
AstroPi is a nice and fun project for kids but I suspect I'm running into a model issue and my experience in gcode is insufficient to manually determine the cause of the issue.
Thanks in advance,
Dawid

Small correction. The crash took place at around z=20 but before Z=20.40 as it appears that the gap by the highest screw post didn't start forming yet.

And I solved my own problem but I don't know why it works.
1. I turned support - it wasn't really needed but I added it.
2. I switched from "Optimal" setting to "Fast" setting.
This time print worked.
From my online research I am inclined to believe that the problem is indeed with Slic3r and the gcode produced but I would need a "wizard" to look into that.
If someone has an idea feel free to chime in.
