DISASTER!!! Support structure failure!!!
So i'm about 7 hours into a 12 hour print... give or take, and I have had catastrphic faliure of the support structure of a LARGE floating part. Every time the nozzle prints a new layer over it, the part is oh-so-slighly-jiggly. I think the support structure is holding it exactly in place, as it prints I can't see "much" issues from the jiggling... but it's making sounds... and it sounds scary... Please, give your print-wishes for my print!!! (will attach a photo when I can)
EDIT: as I was typing this, it just bridged the floating part, to the object. I'm guessing it's a total success!!!! No more noise, and everything looks to be in the right place!

Floating parts are tricky, especially if they are flat. They start to curl upward due to no sticky bed holding them down. Wouldn't be so much of an issue if Prusa hadn't stuck such a puny part fan on the MK3.

yeah, I think that's what bumped it loose... there's a MASSIVE overhang... on the floating part. XD
