That was actually the first big thing we printed after the rook. We started noticing by the 2nd print job that the prints would fail after 20 minutes or so. Nothing was jamming the print head, but it soon became apparent that the cartridges themselves were constantly jamming, regardless of the type of plastic or color. We actually had to rotate in shifts to constantly babysit the printer while making this bracket on Saturday (5+ hour print, btw). It's been an otherwise great printer, but it is completely and utterly impractical for a team to have to constantly tug extra filament out of the cartridge. We're really excited to see how it will perform with this modification. Plus there's the small fact that the generic filament costs ~1/5 the cost per kg of a proprietary cartridge from 3DS.

Having said all that, I would still probably pick this printer again from FIRST Choice at the 300 point price level (which we did). 600 would have been way too much for the hassle. Don't spend money on this printer without knowing what you're getting into. It does work, but it is not remotely as plug-and-play as claimed.
