Ok, I'm not terribly keen on the Makerbot Smart Extruders that are impossible to repair and cost you $200 if you mess up. But... it knew that it ran out of filament, and I was able to continue the print.
(I know, you can hardly tell)
There's a slight ridge where the colors change. I'm guessing that either one of the axis steppers missed a step or there was something due to the cooling/reheating after it stopped and started later the next day.
As before, the inside was stringy, though it made it higher up the dome. I think this may be Simplify 3D trying to print this bit too fast. The overhang isn't really that sharp; every other printer I've used would've succeeded here. I think the angle's about the same as the other one though.
The print of the opening is also a tiny bit rough (no problem). I'm a little confused why the exterior details protrude into the model though, that meant extra support.
The exterior details didn't do very well, even though I'd put support under them. For future builds it might be better to pull these out and print them separately, but I expect I'll just clean these up and go with it. A little annoying, but not as bad as taking a dozen hours and a bunch of filament.
