The Last Straw

Today I had to stop another failed print after 24h of printing and 200m of wasted filament. Current balance is 10 x 1kg PLA and only 1 mediocre looking Benchy, 1 OK looking multicolored lizard and one excellent looking dog. The wasted material would already paid for a new printer ...
