One of my 3D printers just *majorly* malfunctioned during a print… the toolhead front cover fell off, it made a loud noise, then completely shattered the front tempered glass!
The glass went everywhere.
Into the air, on the shelf. On the floor… in my *hoodie pocket*Thankfully I’m okay.
I’m safe. Cats are safe.
But it’s safe to say I’ll have some production delays…FML.
@britt Big hugs to counter the big bad

I’m just glad I’m ok and didn’t get any of the flying glass in my eyes or skin. I’m still in shock. Like wtf.

@britt That’s scary. Time to wear protective eyewear as a precaution?

@stephaniepixie I do wear eye protection (full coverage) when I’m working with the prints/magnets/removing support materials.
But this happened in a fully functional enclosed machine with the front door shut. Like, what?!
I’ve never ever heard of this happening. I already submitted a support ticket.

thank you. Me too. I’m fortunate. Putting a tempered glass on a 3D printer is… likely not the best idea by the manufacture. But, it’s for ‘looks’. Acrylic would be much safer, imho.

@britt "Production delays" yeah I think so
Seriously though, I hope you can get production up and running again soon. I'm glad your cats are okay too.

Glad you and your cats are okay. I replaced the glass door on the printer I bought for my library with an acrylic one because I had a dresser if what would happen if a kid (or adult) bumped it or opened it too far. I didn't consider it breaking from the inside! -

Oh no! Glad everyone is okay though!
