Trust me when I say the model wasn't suited for 3D printing.
I just didn't expect that blob of PLA out of the printer.
I've since added in a bulk filament spool, switched to using KISSlicer + Cubit + CodeX.
Works a lot better.
A lot.
See the attached printing job (spool stand).
I still want to know if cooling around the extruder tip would aid in the printing process.
