The looks of the photo indicate to hot of a nozzle temperature. A very glossy finish is the clue, while a cooler temperature will produce a matte like luster. Are you printing with a third filament cooling fan? Also, I printed my Marvin at 20mm/sec, if I remember. Low slow and plenty of cooling of using pla, same with abs but omit cooling fan until the key chain ring.

Also, you should be using sailfish 7.7. All other firmware has been abandoned long long long ago

I print on a piece of glass with Aquanet hairspray (unscented). One quick even spray and even without the HBP on it will only come off by pulling very hard and throwing it in the freezer for half a minute helps loosen it. If I use more than one coat (spray, wait 30 seconds, spray again) it’s not coming off unless I throw it in the freezer for five minutes. Especially it I heated the bed, then it’s never coming off lol. Integrating only sounds daunting because you have to solder the mosfet to the empty slot, but it’s actually easier than I expected and was one of the quicker mods to do.

I’ve been thinking about adding LED’s somewhere on the extruder so that I can charge glow in the dark prints while they print.

Why are you using replicatorG??? When I first started I also used it and people would ask me why I’m using repG.
