i have just completed this space 1999 eagle on a 3d printer, done in sections then glued together, some of the parts did not fit well, but overall not a bad looking model, its 22 inch long, there is a fifty pence in the middle to give it scale, got some more stickers on the way.   |

Wow I never realised how long it would be.
Does it ever go wrong hours into a print job? Can you restart at a point you got to if you run out of the 'ink'?

run out of ink gareth?, its filament plastic, if you should have a power cut it will resume on powering up, its crucial that the foundation
adheres to the hot plate first or it wont stick further on, so bed levelling is very important.
