My printer won't print this file  

The picture

filament always gets stuck in my extruder and or breaks off in the extruder.

Which filament are you using?

Has it been exposed to humid air for a long time?

Cheerio,

Maybe not moisture

I have used two new Prusament filaments, new Zylatec (I think) filament, and I always store my filament in the bag with the desiccant.  I don't believe it's a moisture issue because I can print several different items after my failed attempt with this one.

Slice it, save the .3mf after slicing, and zip it up so we can see

Nice picture.  Filament breaking is usually not a factor of the shape being printed.  Zip it up so we can see the post-sliced .3mf.  

Uploading

When I first opened the thread I attempted to upload the file and I keep getting a security message that says The file is not permitted for security reasons.   Now I see where I can attach  a file.  Here it is (I hope).

Zip the file

The website requires files to be zipped in order to upload them.  If you are getting the message from attempting to upload a zip file then I am clueless as to the cause.

Zip files

As I am new to the forum please bear with me.  If I want to attach a file I would choose choose file at the bottom of this dialogue box, correct?

Also the file is 776 KB which should be fine to attach?   Correct?

It's gonna get messy

IMO, this will be a somewhat messy print (designed for aesthetics, but not designed for 3d printing) - the round profile creates overhangs all across the lower half of the model.  Your choice to print it a .1mm detail means that it will be messy on a lot of layers.  I would not print a bird toy at that find detail myself.  I'm going to try and print it to see if my filament breaks too - but I've never had that issue before.  I added one more setting - add extra perimeters if needed - because of the intense slope on the bottom 10 layers.

I'm resisting my instincts that this needs a brim - the contact patch is minimal, so warping could become an issue.  Let's see how it goes.

If you use the cut tool and rotate the lower half cut-face down it becomes an easy print - followed by a slightly tricky glue assembly.

Cheerio,

So far so good

My shop is well tuned for Z and my part nozzle cooling mod helps a ton - progress report this print is going ok.   It is already passed the nasty bridges I expected it a bit messier than it is.  it's already obvious to me though that .1mm is a vanity setting for this part - it will be loved by the birds just as much at .3mm draft mode.

So far, no filament has broken.  If your filament is broken, you have a moisture problem.

Happy bird perch day

Printed with no drama.  The only setting change I recommend is "add extra perimeters if needed" - check that to get better bridge on the bottom curve.  Suggestions include ditch the ironing - there really is no flat spot on this model, and ironing just creates burnt spots in PETG.  Also suggest move to .3mm resolution to give the birds more traction.

The birds are gonna love it

Nicely done, I like the color too.

Part fan shroud mod contributed I'm pretty sure

Cheese, I'm starting to like this part cooling shroud mod.  That print could have been stringy on the lower half, but without tweaking anything, the way I am rigged right now printed this better than I'd expected.  Much better.

Can you show a couple clear images of it, I haven't seen the mod your using?

This one

On the MK3S, this one ... and printed it with that weird filament I got from Amazon, but that started fading out of existence after about two weeks, I reprinted in ABS last weekend and have run it all week now (so about three weeks printing with this mod).  I am getting a much improved bridging ability, though you do have to set up in the slicer to really get the full impact.

And here's an image

 I'll take a look at it, I still can't get on Prusa Prints I'll have to wait till I get back to work Tuesday.

 you do have to set up in the slicer to really get the full impact

For sure, I've worked a lot with bridging in slicer (with stock machines) and while many would call it work around's, you can make Prusa slicer do what it needs to.

Can't wait to check this mod out

Thanks

 Thanks for the image ! I think I've looked at this before, and it seemed like it would be worth a go, good to know someone who's having good luck with it.
