I made a really simple mistake today that caused a print to fail after almost three hours of printing. Due to my own negligence the model I was setting up to convert to G-code was hovering a little above the floor in the slicer program. Because to this there was almost 2 millimeters of nothing but supports under the dinosaur I was trying to print. After almost three hours the model lost its grip on the print bed and I could see what went wrong.

Lol fail

Yeah. Three hours of 3D printing and all I have to show for it is a plastic dinosaur's butt.😩

Why not sell it as a blooper?

Just sell it for the cost of wasted material to a fan or maybe can you melt the plastic down again?

I like the 3D print technology , bit slow and not for mass production , so my thought was , can one make 3D printed molds to make products of resin or epoxy ?

It could speed up material coin production . ;-)

Strange, looks like some kind of organ!
