A New Year, A New Skyline - I used GitHub Skyline to generate a 3D model of my GitHub Contribution Graph, which I then 3D printed in Hatchbox Gold PLA on my Lulzbot Mini.
The graph shows my contributions to both the projects I started, such as netgo, authgo, and conveyearthgo, as well as the projects I lend a hand to, such as Fyne.

When I first took the skyline off the print bed it looked like a city frequented by Spiderman 🕸️
This stringing might be due to an elevated moisture level as it rained here recently, either way a recalibration is in order 🛠️

A keen-eyed fellow 3D printing enthusiast on Twitter noticed the many lines, and wondered if my nozzle might have a minor clog. I followed his suggestion of doing a cold pull to remove some of the junk that had built up inside the nozzle.
The printer is due for a new nozzle as it hasn't been changed since I bought it about 5 years ago, and while I'm at it I might as well also invest in a new bed - this one has seen better days.

What a difference a nozzle makes...
I reprinted the skyline after replacing the old 0.5mm nozzle with a new 0.2mm Micro-Swiss one, and was blown away by the improvement!
Here's the latest print with the previous one behind it;

It took a Benchy flotilla to dial in the print settings, though there is still room for improvement - notice the bridging above the front window of the golden Benchy.

BEN the floating BENCHMARK by vandragon_de is another really good model for tuning a printer - there are many intricate details which push the printer to it's limit!
