Father and Son - Tea and Earl
Tea made all of Earl's parts.
Earl still needs some more wiring and an extruder.

I had to use support and turn off Carve -> Infill in direction of bridges to get it to print the bottom half! www.thingiverse.com/thing:7584
After several hours of constant printing...disaster struck!!! The good news is that I had extra parts on hand and it was repaired in about 30 minutes...
Equal amount of water and same length of PVA filament. The one on the left was filled with warm water and then sat on my MakerBot's HBP set to 100c. The one on the right was cold water left unheated.
After 1.5 hours, the warm water completely dissolved the filament that was submerged! The cold water broke down a little, but is clearly still intact.
SCIENCE!
All it needs is some duct tape! :)
Needs a cool name...
Total cost: $24.92

Sticks well to blue tape, unfortunately it curls so much the blue tape doesn't stick to the bed as well. :)
Also: needs better retraction
www.thingiverse.com/thing:9095
Discoloration is from my dirty nozzle. I almost have the ooze under control. Travel speed 120, retraction 1.5 mm, retraction speed 10. If you retract too much too fast, it strips easily.
Print failed, and I couldn't load/unload filament. After pulling the print block apart, I found this evil plug wedged right into the top of the block/nozzle - took a lot of effort to remove the extruder, with that bulge blocking me from even unscrewing.
I dont know what caused this, but this particular filament has sudden variation in diameter (within 1% most of the time, then sudden jumps of 10% diameter) unlike previous from same supplier, and the rep2 doesnt seem to like that. I suspect it lost traction during a retract/extrude, and a soft lump got squished, then became a bigger lump
