    Well, it just failed again, about a minute after this recording. You can see through the thin part of the base that a fairly significant portion had already detached. It got considerably further, though, so my adjustments were working, they just weren't enough. I'm going to slow it down a lot more and give it a wide, brim around the bottom. Hopefully the extra surface area will keep it stuck on long enough to finish. I might switch to a different filament, this one is very bright.

    Another clip of the print. At some moments you can see the print wobble ever so slightly, which is bad news. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure the centre of mass is only slightly inside the base, making it barely stable even without a print head moving along its top surface.

    Ok, you bastard, if this doesn't work, I guess I'll have to make a drastic redesign.

    On the left is the modified speed settings:
Outer wall 30mm/s
Inner wall 50mm/s
Sparse infill 50mm/s
Internal solid infill 50mm/s
Top surface 30mm/s
Gap infill 20mm/s

On the right side is the bottom of the part with a 20mm brim.

    Look, ma, no wobble!

    Rotated the other way, slowed the print *way* the hell down, and stuck a truly enormous brim on it.

    Also, white filament. I don't think that's helped it, though.

    Ignore the video stutter, not sure why it's doing that.

    A short video clip of the grill tines being printed without any wobble. Some stuttering in the video, but that's on the computer end, not the printer.
