Thanks, do you think in PLA the same result is possible?

I had no idea I'd get this many comments on this thread. 

I think it's defiantly possible in PLA.  I will probably try it again once Solidoodle sends me another hot end.  I think I'm going to print it with a .5 nozzle this time as I believe that should help with sharper overhangs.  I'll be sure to post the pictures.

We really need a duration print challenge sometime soon!!! I 100% agree SD should acquire this from you or do the same type of large print for advertising...that would be smart and sell printers.

very impressive! Was this done in slic3r? Do you u print on the kapton or glass?

I am currently only using slic3r.  I print on glass with hairspray only because I have several different glass squares and switch them out quickly to move on to my next print.  Initially I had all kinds of sticking problems and tried switching to PLA, using brim, raft etc. Once I calibrated my extruder and bed height I do not use brim or rafts as everything sticks like crazy with PLA and ABS.  Sometimes the hairspary sticks to your prints and leaves a glossy area.  That's fine if it's on the bottom of something but not I just clean the Kapton with acetone and print away.

Thanks for accepting my challenge!
