The 3D Printing failure rate was quite high, so i had to diagnose why, it turned out that I had changed the nozzle recently but i was not able to tighten the nozzle fully due to some clogged filament inside the threads, This created a gap through which filament would ooze out, and then fall as a droplet on the Print, It owuld cool down and bond with the support or wherever fell on, and when the nozzle hit the blob, it would rip off the support or in one case, disengage the print from the bed itself. In both case, it would start doing spaghetti. So fixed it and here we have. THis weekend i will be cleaning the print and redoing the star.
