Safety first! I've started wearing gloves and safety goggles when removing supports - especially from larger prints. I started doing this after drawing blood waaaay too many times (one time where I didn't notice until I saw the blood on the print itself...). And when I finally got a piece of plastic INTO my eye, where it started sneaking behind my eye, I realized that removing supports is a lot more dangerous than one would think. That plastic is darn sharp and it could cut your corneas and leave a permanent vision impairing scar. So to every aspiring maker out there: Please use gloves and safety goggles when removing supports. :)

top tip. if your print fails, measure the height it got to then just print the top bit by subtracting what you already printed from the z height in cura.

@@RetroRecipes Really accurate. For example if you measure the height of your failed part at 102mm just type into Cura -102 and watch the part disappear 102mm below the virtual print bed of your machine. By the way I love the show. my partner has started watching because she loves the dynamic both of you have on-set. also it reminds her of playing games when she was a kid. thanks for this. :)

it's a massive pain, but if you get reel tangles like that, unfortunately the only thing i've found to do is to re-spool it. grab an old spent spool, stick it on a spinny thing (I usually go with another spool holder or a broom handle or whatever, put the problematic spool on the printer's spool holder, and start re-spooling it... when the newly wrapped spool doesn't try to work it's way back off the spool any more, you can spin it and guide the filament back and forth along the spool to get nice even coverage across the spool.

What a fun project, the results came out great. If it helps, I've found that the filament snagging happens if it is ever let go after being opened - once it unwinds even a little, it can be difficult to uncross the filament. There are designs for 3d printed filament clips that you can use to hold it when its not loaded in the printer. Looking forward to part 2 of the series!

1:00 Callisto from Xena, why ? the one where they switched identity. the 3d print could have had different splits, bottom middle and top in front back, that would make it stronger and prettier. (or reverse, top middle split and bottom front back split, keyboard is the heaviest part) top part could even have more slices, not a front + back but several back parts, some even translucent (does that exist in 3d filament ?), for optional extra lighting effects ... no translucent filament then flat area cutout for clear plastic sheet, back could have it for extra wall projected logo ... custom logo is negative print on paper + cutout white parts, tip : seams could be super glued on the inside.
