    Mid Print Taping? Anyone ever do it?

    I was browsing around the internet this morning and I came across this guy that said he had to tape his print down to the plate mid print because it kept popping up. Looks to me like he should have used support material. I'm wondering how feasible this mid print taping is. Has anyone tried it? Seems to me like it would move the object slightly and cause issues.

    I think that if you notice the issue mid print you do whatever is needed to be able to finish properly... However anticipation and planning never hurt.

    Support to avoid capsizing and correct tackiness to ensure adhesion... basic no ?

    I wouldn't voluntarily do this taping repeatitively because the probability that you don't actually move the part or rotate it in the least part is LOW.
