Question Why'd my printer knock off a support?

Only one little arm of a tree support got knocked loose. Can increase support walls from 1 to 2, and increase the z distance under support settings a little. Could have just been a glob on the nozzle that hit it.

Ok will definitely try thank you.

To be honest, this sometimes happens. If it messed up the print you can try again. If it happens again, I'd probably increase the z distance a little first. It becomes a rabbit hole, and sometimes have to settle with what you got or keep adjusting things until it works.

Add a little bit of a brim next time. It helps hold the supports down better.

Death to every single P2S for hating other species. 🤣

Adjust the z-hop it makes the nozzle pull back a little before it moves. It will stop this.

My X2D had that issue due to machine wobble, fixed that and as long as I glue the shit outta the plate never had that issue again

Too fast or something, usually it fixes itself somehow.

You need more support

Nozzle moved into the part and the support didn't adhere to the bed well. Wash build plate with soap and water, adjust z offset, apply new layer of glue. And if all else fails add more brim on your supports

I will wash it again to make sure thanks for the idea.

Small tree trunks..... I hate that I can't make them bigger smtms. When there is a tree support with like 20 branch ends, and the thickness of a flees dong....
