I don't think I will have any time to print more for a while. Maybe someone else on the forum can.
I got my first failure (after hundreds of prints) last night. It was using an old spool of PLA that sat open in a damp basement for over a year. The side was chewed out by the gear. I was printing at 215 degrees at about 150mm/sec. PLA has such a sharp transition point. if it is not really close to the melt point it is rock solid.
