I should be able to check that in around 4 or 5 hours.
Much much much cleaner print, stuck very well, near perfect fit, even on 1st layer, but I'd increased the tension on the extruder drive, so now for the first 2 layers, the motor is hopping backwards instead of grinding away the fiber, needs higher extruder temp maybe as I'd gone back to 200C, 60C. Making another to replace an earlier & sloppy one. 8 hrs, 18 minutes predicted. Best stuff I've made yet. This is all at .12mm layer, super quality cura calls it, body stuff could be done much faster but I still letting this thing teach me. :) Now if I had the assembly screws and nuts. Got a drawer full of screws, but no M4 nuts.
