Hey that turned out not half bad Looks like i'm gonna have to re-tackle this. I tried some filler putty on my original print, but it was going to require lots of work to finish, and the arm was all messed up so since then i've kinda walked away from this one. but There are still a few things I can think of that might help.

I've thought about running a second print on the bed next to it, so that each layer of the groot head has all the time in the world to cool and solidify, while it prints something else. Not sure if this will work.

the supports I used for the one I printed were all the way around the head, so looks like I can get away with less, but i think i'm putting too much heat in one spot.

Is it bad for layer adhesion to be cooled immediately out of the nozzle? i can increase the airflow over my work piece but not sure if that will be detrimental. Or is it better to cool shortly after extrusion?
