Looks nice.

Last 2 are the same link.

I've been trying to print the various test models from Make Magazine. They are not printing as well as I'd like and I'd like to see what others are getting.
See the image below for the quality. It's not what some of the other printers were getting and I'm thinking its some combination of settings, not the printer.
I'm using Cura, PLA, Hair Spray (Purple) and I've made quite a few successful prints, but the challenges I'm seeing in these test models do show up in sections of my other prints. Problems:
- Adhesion - especially with the pins in the block model. I got one pretty good print, but a bunch of failures.
- Overhang and bridging. All of my prints were on the lower side of the scale.
- The 9 small towers are ok but really hairy.
- The robot needed a brim to even have any chance of adherence.

If anyone gets some good prints I'd like to get a copy of their settings.

Ill give it a try once this print i started thursday night finished up, its only at 66% this morning. Im printing this at 20% scale 10mm/sec .1 layers. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:623532
once its done printing im going to burn up the print and try casting it. It is highly unlikey to succede in casting....
