REAL studio-scale Blade Runner Spinner car.

Perhaps you can bring it into the house, build an enclosure for it and soundproof it a bit.

Way ahead of you TazMan2000 , although still not in the house.
Got an insulated hydroponic grow-tent off a local eBayer for not much money;

Perfect for keeping a 3D printer warm in the winter (or growing marijuana).
Some small tests will follow to see if this works before getting back to the big stuff.
If it doesn't work for the printer I can always do some 'gardening' in it...

Never paint or print in the winter.
Well, certain effects are happy accidents from my own experience. I sprayed well below the temp indicated on the can (regular oil paint, Rustoleum grey filler) and the effect was the same as an old computer housingo_O if you get my drift. You know, industrial hard plastic from the '80s.
It did the job and stayed that way even completely dry.(y)(y)

Hi
Any PLA or indeed any filaments with additives can wear out your tip and PTFE coupler much quicker. your also using an open bed printer so check that the temperature in the room hasn't dropped. even a few degree's. Specialized filaments can be temperamental.
I know its too late but I would advised plain off white standard PLA for a stress free life.
3D printing is and always will be a learning curve. I don't own a printer that big so I can normally catch things going wrong without it being much of a problem. but I've still had a few birds nests in my time.
I'm sure someone here will know exactly what wrong with the print.
Never give in never surrender. you will fix it and be back on your way.
( you've got me looking at V2 of mine now. Vac form this time. but I have other project to finish first. )
