You don't need supports for the knob, even in the orientation you printed it in. The top surface will bridge just fine.

I haven't needed a brim for objects with a nice flat bottom like this, especially on the textured metal bed, things stick pretty well :) you can probably dial down the supports as well, a little goes a long way, really.

Yeah good point, and my setting was just set to auto brim I don’t use it normally

This is a great video. I enjoyed it

just letting you know so you dont waste your money, the hyper PLA will not increase the speed of your prints at least noticeably on a ender 3. If you want to save some money I would just print normal PLA or PLA+. You also don't have to buy filament from creality

[@madeinamericagarage]

Alright, thanks for the insight

[@patykk2036]

you should get your prints off when the table is 30* or less otherwise it will break

[@polycrystallinecandy]

No, that's not true of spring steel plates, only glass ones.

Why not print that screw on lid upside down? No need for supports.

[@madeinamericagarage]

Tried that, didn’t go to well, might be the settings
