What temp are you using? I've found the transparent needs to be 10-20 degrees higher.

Well, it was a fun experiment. It failed on one support and didn't have supports on the inside for some reason so the top of the sphere failed.

Still usable if I sand the inside a little bit to get rid of the sharp roughness and use some silicone or super glue on the bottom.

Odd that it failed. Maybe the wall wasn't thick enough.

I have a similar design that prints with no support on the bowl. I can share it if you would like.

So I just happened to look in the tank and my Birdsnest fell down sometime in the last half hour or so. It landed with a single tip on the Dragon Soul Favia. That spot is looking stung for sure but the Favia also looks like it was digesting some of the Birdsnest. I don't see any damage on the Birdsnest (except it fragged itself a little bit) so who knows. Both should survive.

For a cruddy mess it looks pretty good. Hate to see what you think a disastrous mess is. And yeah, my gonis like it a bit dirty too. Glad you’re on the mend.

Guh I want to learn to print like you and @Projects with Sam .... But I end up doing other hobbies.

Still have that CNC build in my cart Sam sent me.
I still have the parts for the 4'x2' cnc that I'll be doing a YouTube build series on... just my workshop is such a mess I cannot find a good spot to start cleaning!

I have built two for my shop and rebuilt another one. One machines stone and porcelain. The other solid surface (Corian) and plastics. The rebuild served its purpose and it is ready to part out. The drives, controller and never used spindle with VFD are going up for sale.

You are way ahead of me with 3d programming. Most of our parts are 2d.

I think most can agree with, everything is dead. Or 1 lone survivor who killed and destroyed everything, aka triggers, some larger wrasses, hostile angelfish.. Stuff happens.

So I'm fighting Aiptasia and I mean BAD! I looked in the tank last night and thought I saw a weird looking Aip but it was hard to see since it was lights out already.
