Oops. I think you call this a fail.

Using makerware, it seems to tangle the nozzle in the last layer and rips it up. The first two tried weren't this interesting. "I believe you are trying to invent a new art form?" Perhaps it's because today is the 9th?

First attempt with makerware this morning it stopped extruding, but didn't rip it off the build plate. I notice makerware sets the temperature to 230. ReplicatG used 220.

I saw the hood mentioned some where, I think in this thread even. How do you keep the warm air from escaping out the open top of the unit where all the guide tubes and wired go?

Oh. I see. You make the hood over all the moving parts. Kindof obvious, eh?

I think this one isn't going to work. See how the raft has peeled up in the corner and the bottom has peeled up from the raft.

So, with a hood to keep things warm and an extra fan shroud to keep things cool... Um, might have to wait for another payday.

Ruined! The bottom of the object broke away from the raft.

So it tried to print the next layer in space.
