What, in your experience, caused the error(s) on her elbow?

I can tell you that the elbow beads are caused by the fact that my minimum layer time was 25 seconds, so my extruder would move away and wait when it finished those layers early, and it oozes as it waits, so those beads are the ooze. However, they cleaned right off.

would be more concerned about the void on her head as that looks like your extruder cooled a little and could point to an electrical issue.

Yeah, I noticed that, too, and it makes it look kind of shoddy. It may well be an issue with maintaining a hot extruder, I don't know.

After the usual frustrations, I have successfully printed something at just 0.1 mm resolution on my Solidoodle Press, and it turned out very well, after a little cleanup of course. I've heard that many desktop printers *say* they can do 0.1 mm even though they have trouble with it, but my Press did very will with this print: 0.1 mm as advertised.

That's awesome! Looks very smooth!

after calibrating the motherboard motor pots i find it can't print quite decently well.

Try calibrating again. Make sure the machine is upright, and turned on. My first calibration attempt resulted in me changing the settings significantly, and being confused about one trimpot couldn't even be set close to the right value. On my second attempt, I was able to calibrate properly. I must have done something wrong the first time.
