I'm printing off the Apollo Mission from thingiverse (
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15098) at 200% scale and I've got it almost all done. Working on the last part, the bottom (nozzle end) of the service module. All the other parts printed fine including the service module top which I did last night. Both top and bottom of the service module are essentially cylinders, identical except for their ends. So this morning I go in to print the bottom, and instead of a nice cylinder I get the weirdness in the attached photo. The north side of the printer (front of the MendelMax 2.0) prints a nice looking cylinder, just like the one I printed last night, but the south side is a horrible tangly mess.
What could be going on here? The printer was undisturbed and powered off from last night's successful print until this morning's disaster.
Thanks,
