So next we tried something really ambitious, expecting it to not really work:

Here are some pictures:

Early on, printing some support:

Quite a bit more support:

Even more support:

Finished!

Most support removed, just needs quite a bit of work sanding it back, with another new piston printed (expect to see lots of engine parts in our future).

And underneath the top of the mustroom:

Next time we would print something like that in 2 pieces, but this really was a test to see what the solidoodle could do, and its really impressed us.

Really nice! My Companion Cubes' bottoms also come out mangled too, with or without support.

2 of our day one prints, out of the box. Basically touching nothing, using pronterface/skeinforge.

Doing a very ambitious print using Repetier now, after adjusting the bed a lot better. Exciting times, I have 2 3D artists in this house, it's going to be fun

The bottom of the cube got a bit munged, but it was the first print, so still happy, rest of it looks fine.
