So I started a 30 hour print the other day and it finished over night. It is a custom designed screw cap container and I decided the first version didn’t fit the way I wanted so I changed the design and printed it again. I sliced the new file added it to my usb stick and started to print it. I just went down to check on it this morning only to find it was finished! TA DA!
Wrong version. I printed the same bloody one I did the first time. The printer screen doesn’t sort files by date (like my other printers) but by name, I know this but that little V2 on the tail end of the file I clearly didn’t ready correctly and printed the v1 in stead of the v2! Grrrr, I really want to blame the printer for the stupid sorting but in honesty it is my oversight.
I typically use off cuts of hard wood from my nephews workshop and wood stove pellets. My camp kitchen is a custom box. I printed a screw capped container, It was a bit tall and a bit narrow so I redesigned it with a larger opening, 100mm from 90mm a bit shorter 180mm from 250 and a bit wider, 130 from 100mmm. I
The foot print is similar and it looked right when I checked the print before bed, It was maybe 6 cm tall. The version 3 since I had a moment I moved the top to the side so one corner makes a 90 with the lid aligned to that side.
Well, you may still be able to get it out of your system. Did the two file names get listed, one after the other? Is the printer similar to a Creality with the pushbutton/rotating knob? If so, I find the rotation sensor to be a bit flaky. It will occasionally register a rotation as you push the button causing me to select either the previous or next menu item.
@LEGOManiac I really appreciated the thought no its on me. The X1 has a touch screen, It lists files by name and the two files were one after the other. It just happens that one filled the first screen and the one I should have printed was on the next screen. My fault. I get lazy the Prusa has a dial with push to enter command. It is a fairly positive push so only a couple of mistakes total. If you select print from card it defaults to a list with the most recently added on the top and already selected.
Far too often I select the print from card and press twice.I rarely even wait for it to even probe the bed. The only time this was a problem when I got some “isopropanol for covid defence” isopropanol with glycerine in it. Good bed adhesion it does not make. LOL I figured it out after a few failures…
I’ve done this a couple times, usually my naming puts the new version numbers on the end and the display cuts it off. Recently with the new firmware it displays a photo of the part on the touch screen (on my Biqu B1) so it happens less but If I’m doing a diferent version of the same part I always move the part in the slicer to get a diferent thumbnail view.
I still do this all the time… less now with octoprint, but it still happens…
When you export directly from Fusion 360 it just gives your files a string of letters and number for a file name. Me being lazy, I don’t rename most of them.
On more than one occasion I’ve printed just the entirely wrong thing!
