My next attempt was to print the floor plank as a single component rather than having split it open, this gave the added benefit of reducing the inaccuracy as there was no need to glue two halves together to form the one piece.
The print was a success and had the unexpected side effect of a circuit board type patter on the top surface. This was a result of the way in which I had computer modeled the mobius strip and the way in which the Makerware had sliced the object for printing.
While I really liked the effect, the trouble was that it was only on the top face. The bottom face which was connected to the raft was unclean and a little inaccurate, creating one clean and one unclean face. Since both faces were exposed in the model, this was not quite good enough.
