      The piece probably left the build plate and stuck to the nozzle, got pushed in and melted. OP got lucky and it didn’t hit anything hard and cause his leveller to break.

        Yes. THAT. I definitely didn’t forget to just remove the testprint last thing in the evening or first thing in the morning.

      Crashed the heated hotend vertically into a forgotten print during the Z-move to measure the bed position. Missed BLtouch by maybe 4mm.

      Luckily the noise. Still, the printer is in the basement, that was a quick sprint down the stairs.

    Reminds me when I did not fastened my glass bed, it crashed down from like a meter and a half. Good thing it only chipped a corner.

        Have you tried ice spray to harden the magnetic bed and peel it off bit by bit?

          no, I’m afraid to break the glass! Since it works I just left it lol. My printer is shit anyways so I’ll probably buy a new one at some point, then I’ll try to remove it. By now this is the only one I have lol

        Is the glass bed magnetic too? How did it get stuck? Can’t you just pull it? Sorry I don’t quite understand xD

          So it’s not the top part, it’s the bottom part of the magnetic bed.I just put the glass on top and used the binder clips that came with it to make it not move, but the bottom part of tbe magnetic table was still there so it kind of melted at the glass kkk

    I snapped a probe of a bltouch from a forgotten print on the bed :( after that day I added a webcam into my octoprint setup!

    On the upside, went crtouch the second time around because if had a shorter metal probe.

      I had the same happen to me! My knockoff bltouch got it’s probe snapped off in an unfortunate speghetti incident. I took it apart and replaced the plastic probe with a bamboo skewer that I cut and shaped to the dimensions of the probe. It’s been working flawlessly for 3 months now.

      I mean, I even had a webcam already with lighting and all - since the incident™ it now gets used before a print and not just whenever 🤷

    Almost as if zeroing is a sensitive process that should be done slowly 🤔
