Print. Pray. And I'll tell you the rest when you're older. I'm having major problems with the very top, where the tab interfaces. I believe it's related to the absence of certain COOL and ORBIT settings in RepG 0018, but maybe it's hiding somewhere. If y'all have any ideas, please shout.

UPDATE: I've discovered a few things. I'm printing this wicked slow, no question there. I'm going to design a small blower to directly cool the area just below the nozzle, so my prints can hold up cleanly with no compressing or warping. I tried a variation on this last night, and while it was ridiculous, it was totally functional and yielded really nice, clean prints. The catch of course is that the method shouldn't cool down the HBP, nor the nozzle itself. I'll update a Thing when I've got it ironed out.

Another note: I posted a query on the Google Makerbot Group about concentric patterns for the center core, and C. Pax suggested using extra shells on base layer, which turns out to be awesome looking. I've included a screenshot from Skeinforge to show the design, and it's DEFINITELY going to be the next trial method for this project. It's freakin beautiful :)
