More things printed! I printed a couple more minimugs today, one which failed part-way through, and one which completed essentially perfectly!
I also printed a whistle - which failed quite unexpectedly, squashed over to the left. It turns out that skeinforge happily works with objects that extend into the negative axes, and the whistle has a lanyard loop that extends into negative X. Each time the reprap tries to move into the negative region, it hits the endstops and the origin is reset, pushing subsequent layers to the right. We ended up with a straight lanyard hole and a curved whistle :P
I also attempted to print a classical 3d hypercube projection (two wireframe cubes joined at the corners) but that object started 10mm above the print bed! I need to find out if Skeinforge can recalculate the position of an object to put it's bounding box at (0,0,0), or if I need to write something myself.
