they have an option called extrude... where the thing pre heats up to about 90 degrees, and extrudes whatever is dried up in it for about a few inches, before it starts printing again. it actually moves itself up off into a corner of the platform and does this, so the extra gunk that hardned doesn't mess up the main print.

right now, it's trying to print my technodrome model, and is mostly basically working on the support structure the thing needs to stay upright. it's been doing this for the last 5 hours or so. and hopefully, I'll come in monday morning and see this thing all properly completed.

it's going to be a long weekend..
