So, for the first time ever and with Rex away in Sweden,

So, for the first time ever and with Rex away in Sweden, I’m going solo on the Omni. Been working with a local architect on a watertight sketchup test print, got a new batch of filament and twenty minutes in, its still extruding. There has been a steady flow of hitches causing a very late start and expect there to be more. It looks a tad snotty, the inside is spaghetti and there are plentiful unexpected gaps in the outer wall, but its printing something!!

I’m wondering - what could be causing snot, spaghetti and gaps?

Unexpected gaps - uneven filament diameter? without and photos that’s my guess. Either that or as it says in the book - humidity in the filament.

I did wonder as no silicon in the bag on arrival. Extrusion issues galore too! Very reputable UK supplier so I will be surprised if its not user error. From faberdashery for which I’ve only seen good reviews. Taking a break from two long nights of disaster but am considering a filament bake this evening. On a test section.

Will post pics later. And also shove new filament in the airing cupboard for the day, un-ziplocked!
