Another fun one from the sculptor.
The Colonel by Sculptor, .2mm layers, GRRF Turquoise Blue PLA., no supports and loads of cooling on an experimental CoreXY frame.

So good! Really nice print.
How did you cool that? The overhang on that chin with no supports looks unbelievable!
This is very nice, whats your bot/slicer/layers/infill/speed? I’m been meaning to contact Ola in an effort to get him to release some of his other models, some of them would make awesome prints.
Pretty impressive. I can’t wait to get my printer to print a well 
@Yomi_Colledge
Thanks! This one is a work in progress!
Tim - this was printed on a prototype CoreXY bot I’m playing with. It was sliced with KISS, and printed at 5% infill. I didn’t record the speeds, but I suspect it was my standard 120mm/s perimeters and 180mm/s infill.
@John_Driggers well, it’s certainly working 
@John_Driggers Prototype Core x/y = intriguing. Commercial machine or your own personal, are you documenting the development anywhere? I ask as core x/y using spectra braid is on my to-do list once I’ve finished the big Tantillus I’m working on.
Also, glad to see you’re using KISS, very much underutilized given it’s capabilites.
LOL _ Yeah, it’s my own creation - serious work in progress that’s suffering from lack of time!
Interestingly enough, a T-Slot Tantilllus is on the list of distraction! 
Cool! Well, if you can find the time, please post some pictures - it would attract a lot of interest, core xy shows a lot of promise and if your prints are anything to go by, you’ve made some great progress. If you check my profile photos you’ll find the Big Tantillus WIP.
Tim, I do need to take the time to share what I’ve been doing - it’s a bit of a hectic time ATM. 
I firmly believe that we’ve reached the limit of what can be achieved print quality wise with moving beds. CoreXY, H-Bot. Delta, and Cartesian where you have a static build platform are what I think it takes to maintain quality whilst increasing speed.
Ill look forward to seeing what you’re up to. Completely agree on the moving bed limitations, its why I decided to scale up a tslot tantillus; larger build volume but still leverages the ultimaker gantry which is really elegant compared to those clunky and overly complicated Mendel derivatives 
Could you point to any resources for getting a print as good as you have it? (ie slicer settings or your algorithm?) I’d imagine that a Mendel max 2 or something similarly sturdy could give similar results but my prints just pale in comparison. Thanks for giving a good goal, this is definitely the best I’ve seen! 
@Stephen_Jensen
Thanks for the kind words! Pretty much any
“current” generation RepRap should be able to produce the same sort of results - biggest difference would really be the speed they could achieve and still maintain quality - so an i3 would need to print a bit slower than an M90 or a MM2.0.
There’s really no magic - it’s just spending time getting to know your printer, the slicer you are using, the plastic you are printing, and how much cooling you can get away with - particularly in the case of PLA.
Drop me an email, I’ll see if I can dig up some of links for you.
