Looks like pretty good print! Very positive start.
can’t wait for the MMU to arrive…
I agree with you! The MMU was one of the reasons I ordered the PRUSA. I think printing 4 colors will bring it to the next level. I know there will be some PLA waste, but colors will just bring a great new dimension to it. Can’t wait!
Oh for me since I do most of my prints in Nylon or PETG, I am super excited for dissolvable supports.
Absolutely. It seems to me that with ability to add such support the complexity of prints can be increased a lot. Definitely a plus for lots of application.
So crazy print of the day on my Taz6 in the lab (just because it is nerdy cool) which I am sure the OpenSCAD folks really will get into is the sine cubed vase

Description:
This has approximately 9,000 cuboids (1 every 4 degrees of arc, and 100 layers), and took 14 hours [!] for OpenSCAD to render on a Dual Opteron machine.

… wow…
I bet that took a minute or two to print.

Oh yeah… 30 hours… Because my mean boss won’t lease a Carbon 3D printer for me…

Tonight printed the “castle” demo file from the SD card in Prusa silver PLA at 100 µm layer height. Model can be downloaded here:

WOW! That is some print! Are you duly impressed? How does it compare to your old big box? What fun!
The bigbox was a fantastic printer which did produce gorgeous output, but this thing is sublime. The finish is silky. I need to load some nylon in there and try that.

Nice! Woof!
I’m curious if Josef 3D scanned his dog?

This made me chuckle.
Used to leveling the printer myself (in my day…)
“You kids and your crazy auto-leveling. Back in my day, if your z height was off, you drove a couple of wooden shims under it and went on with your day. Now get that auto-leveler off my lawn!!!”

You’ve got a dragon (she’s beautiful by the way), a castle and a dog. Where’s the princess? Where’s the knight?
The pug was knighted due to his heroism in defending the house against mail delivery…

Although my first prints went smoothly, eventually I had to adjust the default Z height so my first layer would squish into the printer more. My prints were peeling themselves off the build plate, and ABS was a no-go. I hope to come back to ABS and troubleshoot more later.
So it took a day of troubleshooting, but once the first layer was “flatter” and not “tubular” shaped, I had better build plate adherence and PRUSA returned to functioning. So Z-Height is the achilles heel for this printer, IMHO.
Good luck.
