Free as in “you’re free to use the system, and tell it what to do”, not only as in “you can use it for free”.

If the only point for Linux was it being available for free, then just install Windows, open PowerShell and irm https://get.activated.win/ | iex

Re-slice in different positions, use a few different slicers and printers, got it. Thanks for the pro tip 👍🏻

Yeah, if the nozzle is hitting the part, then it’s very likely a cooling issue. If an steep overhang isn’t cooled properly, it’ll curl upwards.

Either you’re printing too hot, or the fan is too slow or failing. For PLA, you can leave the fan at 100% after the first or second layer, and print between 195 and 205°C. Printing too fast also means the fan may struggle with the amount of hot plastic.

Can you paste your slicer settings?

Lower the Z offset. Not by too much, or it’ll scratch the bed.

“Everything is failing” is not useful info at all. Post a video of the failure happening if you don’t know how to describe it.

Any videos of when the print fails? Is it all prints or just the Benchy? Does it always fail at the same height?

From the available info, I’d guess it got knocked off the bed because the nozzle hit the curled overhang, which indicates the first layer is too high, decreasing adhesion, and the fan is not blowing enough, so the overhangs don’t cool enough, which allows them to curl upwards and get in the way of the nozzle.

More info = better diagnosis.

Users move on from Windows because of old hardware compatibility, pick an easy to use distro, like Fedora. Fedora drops old hardware compatibility…

It’s their second attempt in under a month. Red Hat needs to sit the fuck down.

Or just use an ABL probe and skip all the speculation.

Oh, hell no, brother, what the fuck?

Not even an apology to Enrico first… Fucking Red Rats
