I put a gnome model on to print yesterday, I normally with these multi day prints put my clamps on the raft so that the model doesn't slip off the build plate during the print. I think I have now narrowed down the reason they keep failing and it seems the centre of my heated bed is 70C but the edges are around 58C, also on these colder nights the temp must drop even lower and the model separates from the bed.
The printer is also only partially enclosed, I never have a problem with bed adhesion on my small printer and that is fully enclosed and the temp inside the enclosure remains relatively stable even on the coldest nights. I have restarted it and will put my clamps on it once it rises above 4mm.
These miniscule led bulbs came with resistors. I had a couple of CR10 battery holders with an on/off switch. And they look about perfect when added to the lantern in my 'The Hermit' model, I have a nice display dome and a few other bits coming just to finish it off, cannot wait.
