300mm tall t-slot

Here's a 300mm 20-2020 tslot. I was trying to see how high I could make one and after a few failures, I was able to make a 300mm tall one. I ended up needing to use a raft to keep it from falling over. The previous ones would start to get wobbly and get pushed over above 200mm and you can see that this one was starting to move a little bit right before the end. Except for the last little bit, it is surprisingly straight and strong.

Nice. Was that PLA or ABS? Also, what fan setup do you have for your hot end?

I'm using ABS. Haven't tried PLA yet. The fan is a 50mm hanging between the sets of arms with a little scoop I made to fit it. It seems to be working fairly well but if I run it at 100% it'll cool down the hot end a little too much. I'll probably stick it up on thingiverse soon.
