Well yes.
But it's really supposed to be my son's 3D printer.  ;)

"Almost no layer lines"
I'm liking it already!   Thanks for the suggestion.

Sometime soon I need to figure out printing with support vs bridging
(my "just print it" experiments have revealed that this bridges pretty well!)
using multiple filament colors, flipping parts that are oriented badly, scaling,
and then get down to modeling from scratch in something like OpenSCAD, since
it's been a good 10 years.
Also need to learn how to pause print to insert thing like threaded nuts, allen
wrenches, and other metal items.
