    lol - once I see the first layer is down - I just leave her to her own devices.

    Sometimes you come back to a mess - sometimes not.

    But life's too short to babysit every single print. I have other things that need doing as well.

    That said I'm still in the early stage of swearing at makerbot for their truly crappy software and trying to get things without rafts to stick to something: anything !

    So long prints aren't a big issue - yet.
    But I've got no problems leaving it printing by itself.

    2am seems to be my average stop time at the moment, when I'm playing with the printer :-)

    oddly the one thing I've never had a problem with is head drag. Not on the original bed or on any of the glass beds.
    Nozzle I cleared by just unscrewing, soaking in acetone for a few hours and then poking with a nozzle clean kit my mate 'borrowed' from work ;-)
    That said the extruder iss till giving me feed issues I think some of the ninjaflex got stuck in the gears as it was fine before I tried that. So it looks like a complete teardown of the right head is in order anyway.

    So glad I've got two heads. can't understand people who remove one. Backup redundancy is always a good thing :-)
