Imo Cura lacks parameters/settings, after that its awsome!
Also about the Skirt ye that seems like a great idea, But i just aint sure if it will work,
I might make a aluminium case, Its just i dont have the place for it atm, will think about it i guess :P
Thanks for the help guys ^^
Kinda went back to PLA at the moment for a larger piece, but ye ABS is great for smaller stuff, PLA is very brittle with small diameters/sizes, i guess ABS might do better with that.
/edit
Didnt see your comment yet MeoWorks,
Well i use ABS glue (acetone + abs) and it kinda reacts as a Brim,
I could perhaps use a combination of ABS glue and a Brim, But the problem is then, that the plastic layers will actualy rip,

That was my last attempt on a larger piece :P 120x50x60 if i remember the size well.

Please accept my deepest condolences for such a nice print, it really looked well until it cracked :/
Another although quite wasteful solution would be to put one or two of those IR heating lamps on the printer so they heat the printed part.
But you will use lots of electricity :P
I don't think that brim of any size will help with that part since the cracks appear all over the object due to inner tension.
