  • It’s hard enough to successfully print something that holds water properly. If it’s at all possible, the best way to handle it is coating the print with something to seal it afterwards. If it’s not, making something airtight would require having quite a few walls and especially surface layers to make sure all small gaps eventually get blocked off.





  • Filament spool issues won’t cause layer shifts in bowden printers, it’s a risk only with direct drive.
    At the root of it, there are only two possible causes for a layer shift like this - either the motor skipped steps or the belt slipped on the drive pulley, and judging by this gap, my guess would be the belt slipping because it’s not tensioned properly - and even if it is, you should seat that belt correctly anyway.
