Early printing attempts.

My first attempts at printing. I printed both with PLA filament. A few things I discovered:
-some connecting pieces can break very easily.  Note the green robot.  The model is not cleaned up because his joints will break.  I printed him very small as well so maybe larger next time.
-make sure the bed of the printer has no ridges.  I put blue painters tape on the bed so that the models can be removed after printing.  I overlapped a piece of tape slightly which messed up the layers of the model. Note the missing layer lines in the grey deer.
