Printed this extra long cat snake on my ender3v3 (this thing is longer than my 10yo!). The print came great for the most part. What do you think happened at this one spot? Bed adhesion issue?
What PattyMcB said, but also, IPA is better applied on a room temp hotbed, because if it's too hot, the alcohol evaporates too quickly to be efficient.
It's print in place, but it took close to 7 hours to complete

Yeah, looks like that exact segment shifted a little while printing. A typical culprit when it comes to localized adhesion issue is finger prints.
Ah. I wiped it with alcohol before printing, but I guess that doesn't actually remove the fingerprints.
Dish soap and warm water will get rid of the fingerprint oil
I do both. Ive never had good luck just using dish soap and water alone and still have adhesion issues until wiping with IPA.

Should I not rub it until it evaporates, but rather just apply a thin film and let it evaporate?
You definitely want to rub it off and not have it evaporate. Otherwise the oil will settle back onto the plate.
Ah, I had no idea, thanks
How long is a 10 year old? About 2.5 toddlers?
Anywhere from 5 to 7 bananas. Or about 0.01296 football fields.
Too damn long, thats what my pappy always used to say.

Thanks for the link.
Is this print-in-place or a bunch of loose pieces that snap together ?
Snakes like that are always print in place.
