Be careful David.
Those rotary tools can be dangerous !!
We don’t want to read about any accidents.
Hopefully that foot-switch does not act like an accelerator pedal - LOL.

Thanks Len, I’ll be very careful!
 
More Gridfinity goodness.

I switched from cubic infill to gyroid because even with Z-hop over printed parts enabled the print head was hitting the already printed stuff

Yeah that Gyroid is weird. Not sure how much support it actually provides. Those layers don't even look that well bonded.
 
Was it hitting on a good layer or an imperfection, like a blob or a clump?
I've never had that problem unless I am printing multiple copies at the same time and forget to set the slicer to print simultaneously rather than individually.

There might have been a bit of over extrusion but what was happening was one direction of the infill would print across the diagonal width of the piece, (like one leg of an X when viewed from above) when the second leg printed, the print head would hit the first leg so created this brutal rattle as the print head knocked into each line.

Send me the STL. Let's see what my slicer does to it.
 
Here's the sliced with support bottom. The blue is the support.

And the infill at layer 36. If I do the gyroid my settings make it a 10 hour print.
