Depends on the direction. Bonds between layers can be quite weak, but strength within a layer is comparable to an injection moulded part.

Yeah, my experience is nearer Kos's than Ant's, but different machines & I'm a novice. There's a stratification which doesn't matter in a sympathetic plane, but weakens the object (a bit) cross-grain.

I've not done any tests of strength, or made anything that will take a load, but I imagine yours and Kos's experience is right. My stuff "seems" strong, but layer/wall height definitely makes a different to the perception of strength.

Nice. You should make ikea style instructions and put them on instructables

A unicorn. Horn and tail printed separately.
My first successful print of something with 4 legs requiring a brim and supports. A few failures to get to this point. The banding round the middle isn't great.
After I removed the chin/head support

How's the printing going? Printed anything more interesting than a whistle? But more importantly have you figured out the dual extruder?

Playing happily, Ant, though I've had a spot of trouble with failed prints after using a 'woodfill' filament - it seems to have clogged up my nozzles, J.
I've been making objects that are, nominally at least, vases.
I keep the left extruder for PLA at the moment and the right for ABS, but in time I'm going to have to try dividing a model into zones and printing two-tone in different PLA filaments.

I've heard woodfilament can really Fuck your nozzle because it's so abrasive.

Nice. I made a little vase.
I'm tempted with the risky idea of changing filament halfway through a print at some point to get a top/bottom split.
