So i’m having problems printing the 2nd floor of the Gloomwood Eyrie, as you can see on the photos details are falling off and it’s only really this part that is having problems because as you can see the top is fine (photo).
I print on a Prusa i3 mk3 – I have 2 of them and i’ve tried both printers so my conclusion was the profile settings, but I don’t know what to change to fix it. -

I thought I did… I see now that it says” File exceeds allowed file size.” Let’s give that another go shall we.

I concur. (Printing on an Ender 3 using Cura 3.6). Thickening would help a lot. I’m printing double walls (.4 nozzle @ .16 layer height) with an additional wall every alternate layer (which helped with the Winterdale Wizard Tower where the balustrades were similarly frustrating breakage-wise) Oddly the internal window struts which are equally thin or thinner printed fine… just not the balustrades around the edge…
-
I dropped the travel speed from the stock 120m/s down to 100m/s in Cura after reading elsewhere that may help.
And it did… until the very top of the balustrades when I had no less than 5 break off in quick succession about 2 layers before they all join at the top.. makes it a little more salvageable than my prior efforts – so changing that setting may help others. -

I know it’s a year later, and people have obviously been successful. However, my roof has failed 9 times. It’s always on the same part. I’ve turned the roof about 15 degrees 3 times, moved it on the bed, it always fails on the same part every time. I’ve slowed it down, i’ve cooled it off, nothing works. I’m using a Raise3D N2 and slicing with Simpify3d. I’m using 3d FUel PLA at 205 and have done tons of prints successfully, including level 1 and 2 of the tree plus a 100 hour Mage Tower from the Titan Forge Patreon this month.
I’ve even added a 30x30x60 tower off to the corner to force the head to move off the print so that it cools the part. I’ve attached a screenshot of the section that always fails. It does seem to fail around the same spot usually, about the 5.5mm mark
Edit after a while – i tried 4 more prints, adding a raft, changing the initial layer height for more “squish” and even the layer width from 0.4 to 0.6 to see if that helps. if anything its worse now, failing before the first 5 layers.
Has anyone done anything other than just drop this on the plate and print to be successful?
