yeah, the sound of a printer is better than any other lullaby!
@Skint, congratulations to you and your wife!!! You must be a proud father!
Hey SandervG, yes indeed I am a very proud father. I think my whole vocabulary at the moment consists of words like baby, 3d, princess, printer, so cute, modeling, tiny heartbeat, colorfab, she`s beautiful, argh my hotend is blocked, etc etc haha
haha, did you forget; lack of sleep, coffee and yawn?
wait what.. hotend blocked?
Sander haha yes, sleep and yawn should deff be in there!!
Having a few printing issues lately and I am having to constantly give my machine a bit of a service. Nothing than cannot be sorted out given time.... oh time!
Here are my two last prints, both planters as I needed some for the fablab.
The first one is quite simple
The second is more complicated as I didn't want to need a saucer for that:
So I modeled a ventilated drain to prevent stagnation of excess water at the bottom.
More details in my "print" section.
All the files are of course on Youmagine

Nice prints! Did you know you can also share print details in a little info card?
I found one of Robert's contributions on Thingiverse....a PCB Vise. I have been doing a lot of soldering of Arduino UNO shields lately and this looks very handy!
The first piece came out great using basic settings... ColorFabb PLA/PHA at 200, 40 mm/sec, 0.2 layers and bed at 60C
But the "claws" sort of turned into a mess. I wonder if the bed temp killed the overhangs? Or some support should've been added?
Any thoughts on that failed print?
Really have no idea, it seems like a simple straightforward print, also looks like you used the correct orientation. Speed and Temp should be fine, bridging is just a small gap. Considering the rest of the print (top) looks ok I assume the print also stayed on the bed correct.....
Any issue of a temporary blocked spool, knot in the filament?
I would say just try it again. I would use a 0.1 or 0.15 layer height to be on the safe side for good threads, but this may not be needed, and you can probably try the thread based on these failed prints.
considering the 0.2 layer, and the possible temperature deviation of the sensor, try printing a bit hotter, like 210-220 celsius (only when you stay at 0.2)
i would not change orientation, really no need, will only give you an ugly top on the part.
Nice little thing!!

Shes adorable, congrats mate!
I have two of my own, aged 3 and 1, and have on several occasions used my printer to print various things related to them (its a great tool for fixing cheap plastic toys), so on top of all the happiness (and concerns), see her as another excuse to put your printer to good use
