    Question Complete mess after a few layers, beginner needs help :)

    Hi everyone, I'm new to 3d printing and have just managed to get a good first layer down of my very own design.
    After running for about 30 minutes my print went complete haywire, I suspect shortly after starting with the supports. I wasn't there to witness it but see the photos below:

    Does anyone have any idea where to look next? Should I look at my printer settings, or at my design?

    My printer is a Creality Ender-3X, you can find the object file I tried to print here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4318787
