The one that worked fits quite nicely however!

Maybe it's just bad filament or K factor settings? This gold pla seems to work fine.

The new moon ring gear looks mighty fine and is much more rigid! It makes one rev every 29.53 days and has 28 spaces for shiny moon phase indicators to be installed

Mr Pythagoras grudgingly allowed a test print of the 12-piece zodiac ring.

Twelve prints later, the outer zodiac ring is complete and we can see how it looks in the dining room. Now I need to finish the constellations and find a globe, disco ball and sun.

Rendering with a support truss and the constellations hanging from the zodiac ring.
Oct 22, 2026, 8:37 PM@th When I've had problems I've been able to resolve it by drying the filament thoroughly or cleaning the nozzle

Arthur Elsenaarartelse@mastodon.socialOct 25, 2026, 6:43 PM@th Will there be an opening party; the moment of synchronicity?
Ali MirjamaliAliMirjamali@mastodon.socialOct 22, 2026, 1:05 PM@th It is strange to see that this happens so frequently on your setup on a relatively premium printer (Bambu Labs)? Although a bed slinger rather than CoreXY, still one of the top of the line printers with linear bearings and high quality components. Is the material something fancy?

@AliMirjamali it is a used A1 from a friend who upgraded to a larger unit, with nearly 2500 hours of print time. I'm not using fancy or even premium filament, and don't have a dryer, so this might be a material problem.
