Print attempt 1: the print head moves but nothing comes out.
Print attempt 2-20: messing with skeinforge settings, not enough luck.
Print attempt 21: switched to Slic3r, next print attempt the first layer prints more or less successfully, but half remains attached to the nozzle messing up the next few layers. Aborting print but success is visible from here and it looks sweet.
Spend some time adjusting the heated bed more carefully.
Print attempt 22-33: the PLA will not stick to the aluminium heated bed.
...yadiyadi yada...
print attempt 100: It works! It Lives! printing onto blue tape and messing with all kinds of settings seems to have worked! The parts being printed are incredibly ugly but they are one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
print attempt 101-111: tweaking settings and getting marginal improvements in print quality.slowly but surely it's improving, except when it gets worse.
Yay, I have succeeded in a print! the parts are ugly but getting better! Does happy dance.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
