...surprisingly strong, I think the relatively poor surface finish is saving the day. But I intend to come up with some super fancy dovetails to mechanically join them together.
Its done with the standard Java host software and a small script to take account of the offsets between the extruders.
Re the nonstick - Thats kind of the plan. I've had a go making solid parts out of silicone, but find it takes too long too set/too thin, so tends to deform as it is built (the parts are ok, but could be better). The idea behind this was to build a cast for the silicone as we go. I've made another two material cube where the top half silicone and the bottom is PLA, and its ...

Cool! This is with the default Java host software? Or something else?
BTW: I thought that silicone and PLA/ABS didn't really stick together very well? I used it as a non-stick surface for one of my extruders...
