First and second test prints

Well, I’m trying the traditional mini-mug!

Mini-Mug test!

Mini-Mug test!

Something tells me they’re not watertight.  The first one (left) snapped off the foam-core raft part way through the build.  The second one (right) got all gloppy and then snapped off the foam core raft part way through the build.

Except for the fact they’re not even close to done, the adhesion between the layers seems pretty good.  The raft on the second one was a little gloppy which caused me to be a little apprehensive throughout the build.  After a few layers the gloppiness evened out.  However, it cropped up again, accumulated, got super gloppy, and ruined the build.

Suggestions?

Sanding

This part is probably unnecessary.  I’m not sanding down the surface of the wood parts because it is so thin the veneer would probably come right off.

However, there are some small tabs throughout the pieces where they were once attached to larger parts.  I’d rather do it now than after painting and then have to paint the sanded parts over again.
