By now I have printed all of the head and face parts except for the ears. I have the speakers so I am using the design for them. I printed the left ear fine. When the right ear finished I had a problem. The build was stuck fast to the plate. I mean it would not budge. I tried everything and my printer was down for a day and a half. Finally I just gave up and got some vice grips and started smashing it. When it finally came loose it ripped a big hole in my bed cover. This was a new cover that I just replaced when I started this project. Ugh!!!
I put a new cover on. Now I will try printing with a raft. I am hoping the raft will let me get under this print. If it works I may use a raft regularly after this experience!

Here is my print starting on top of the raft.
