Technical difficulties... Resetting for take 3
1st, The Video made it look like my part was detached from the bed, so I cancelled the job. Upon further inspection, I think it was a reflection/illusion/beer. I'll try again shortly.
2nd, I've jammed my extruder

The filament skipped off the spool and stripped a section. Then when it caught again, it started packing itself into the gears... Let's try this again.

4 hours later, there's a tiny vase! It came out a little grainy because I was pushing the speed a bit more than I should without a fan, but overall I'm pretty happy. After I add a layer fan, it would be very interesting to try this print again.

Very nice Jim!

I caught a little bit of "try 1 & try 2" last night. Just wondering what "beer" variable you used? Lager? Ale? or possibly a nice dopplebock? What temperature? Ambient? Ice cold?

Cheers!

A little 3 Floyds and a little Bell's

Usually Belgian, red's, and IPA's.
