    Here is some pictures of a print job I never ran on my original Robo or my R1 due to me being too afraid it would not do this piece justice.

    Here is the R2 printed version, the only really bad spot is by the chin where it's a little rough but all in all a successful print.

    Looks good! Yeah - the underside of overhangs are tough to do. I found that setting the hotend temperature toward the lower end of the filament's temperature range helps in that situation. Increasing fan speed also helps there, but you're probably already running the fans at 100%.

    What was the print time for this? Print looks pretty good.

    It "was" going to be 10 hours 42 minutes, but I changed the layer from .1mm to .2mm per layer resolution to reduce plastic use and time to 5 hours 24 minutes, give or take.

    Looks like either the retraction settings need tuning or the "minimum layer time" setting needs to increase to clean up the mess toward the top of the print.

    That was my thought as well.
