Using glow ABS and the default companion cube settings, here's the result:

Very pleased with this for a first print. I edged the speed back up to 100 from 50 where I started the print at, seemed to have little effect on quality so that's nice.
The infill over the bridged parts fell in a little, but if it were doing a concentric pattern I doubt any at all would have fallen.

There are a few little globs around the internals of the print which occurred while it was printing the columns, not sure what they are from, any ideas?

Overall very happy with the result, now to print a longer spool arm :) And also an LED light ring... I know a little about LED's ;)

Well done SeeMeCNC, great machine!

The blobs appear to be from failed bridging. That being said, as far as bridging goes, your cube looks great; as far as anything goes for that matter. If you want perfect bridges print with support, or spend countless hours looking for the perfect settings only to have some outlying variable change and have to start over.

Thanks for the encouragement, yes I was pleased with it - compared to the last printer I had this is printing better on the test print than it ever did, even after months of tweaking. The blobs visible are from the bridging yes, but there were a few little ones littering the internals before it got to the bridging part.
