solarbirdMy longest-run print so far, 1 day, 7 hours, 49 minutes, 51 seconds. Basically one and a third days. It's nothing special, just an organiser I made to fit into a specific spot on the wall in my workspace of specific size, but I need that, so yay, it worked.
Ironically, it's with the most troublesome, annoying filament I have. (eSun matte ultra black.) I love how this filament looks the... one time in five times or so it actually prints. Even then it will lift off the bed in some corners.
(Literally the only 100% flawless print I've ever had with it - no flecking, no corner lifts, no separations - was the temperature tower I printed when I got it. Absolutely beautiful. Everything after that has been a nightmare. No other filament I've worked with has behaved even fractionally this badly.)
Version one of this was the first object I managed to print without bizarre spiky flecks sticking out of flat surfaces. I posted about that a while ago, the best solution I've found is "print objects with flat sides rotated 45 degrees."
Anyway, with the little bit I have left I'm going to test my 45° theory with an object that recreates the fleck bullshit 100% of the time, and also try my "maybe a raft with supports going up to the intended object hovering in space will work" theory at the same time, since I don't have a lot left of it anyway.
