This is the first video I promised you. Check out the perfect Taylor cone that formed around the 10 second mark. If the rest of that mess hadn't been there, it would have been perfect!

Way too many exit points. It really should have been JUST that cone.

There are two main causes of that, I've found. The first is too fast of extrusion rate. The jet just couldn't keep up with what was coming out so it formed more jets.

The other reason is the solution not being properly mixed. This has another effect eventually. What will happen is what I'm calling a 'blossom', where the material comes out and has nowhere to go, so it forms a big blob, which just keeps growing and growing. Some of them are kind of neat, but still not welcome.

Just a matter of dialing in the settings and making sure things are well mixed.
