Drooping Small Features and Pointed Tips

Document the failure and confirm that it matches this guide: Narrow towers, ears, horns, or tips bend and soften near the top.

Return extreme overrides to a known printer, nozzle, material, and slicer profile so the diagnosis starts from a stable baseline.

Check layer time too short. Increase minimum layer time.

Check cooling insufficient. Improve part cooling.

Inspect temperature too high. Lower temperature slightly.

Rule out only one copy printed. Print multiple copies or a cooling tower.

Change only the single setting or hardware condition supported by the evidence, then run a small test that reproduces the original failure.

Compare the test against the target condition, record the successful value, and save it in a printer/material profile before repeating the full print.
