Printing the toppart of the statue again.

The first toppart went wrong after two third was done.  Under extrusion.  This morning I started the second print.  Around 6:30 I started....  Now after 5:10 hours of printing and 45% done it still looks good.   The difference with yesterday was the weather.  Today there is more sun in my livingroom where the printer stands... This heats the room up.  Yesterday this was not the case.  Because I have understood that enviroment temperature can play a roll during printing  I tend to give this, part of the reason for failure yesterday.  But lets wait  till this one is finished...

Here is the part after 8:26 hours of printing and 91% done.
After 8:56 hours printing it was ready.  The top part of the head was printed very good. But as in the images is clear during printing time there were a few weak moments in extrusion.
 Around the shoulder and neck part is a clear line to see which has gaps.   Also the upperpart of the hand was badly printed.
But in the end I am pleased with it. And this is what it will look like.  I still have to clean everything and glue the parts of the statue together.
