EX_ROOF_HEADER was the most difficult part to print. Recommended to use a brim.

    I do not use extra adhesion with my prints. I regularly clean my bed and almost never have problems with the Prusa. Only with this did I have several failures.

      I see! Usually I use some lack (at every 2-3 print, or if
      it some difficult part) and never clean it 🙂

  Thank you your feedback!
  With 3DLAC spray we had no issue, despite our fears.
  But we will add your comment, as a warning to the assembly manual, because we also feel, that it could be a tricky printing.
  What is your printing/assembly status? We would love to see it! 🙂

    As of yesterday, this one is completely finished. It is moving forward rapidly. I will test it extensively this weekend. These are some pictures:

      It is very nice 🙂
      If you are transporting by car, be very careful when the weather is hot. Last time, unfortunately our whole RC car was deformed during a short shopping stop.
