Description

A bit smaller than my 7 and 8 point versions.

 

Challenging to print with 0.4mm walls and 0.4mm gaps. You need good first layer adhesion and clean travel. My X1 has no problem with it in PLA or PETG.

 

My initial profile has seam alignment of back. This produces the cleanest print if your printer, filament, and profiles are good. If travel leaves blobs having them aligned is much more likely to lock the rings together and random seam alignment would be better.

 

If the rings expand easier/further in one direction it is likely caused by first layer elephant foot expansion which you can try adjusting.

 

The model is split into top and bottom parts and the initial profile has different filaments assigned to them,

 

Looks nice in silk PLA and co-extruded bi/tri-color silk PLAs.

 

UPDATE

After more experience printing these concentric ring fidgets note:

You get the cleanest prints when seams are 'hidden' in corners so you want back or aligned seam alignment.

The filament profile advanced setting "Setting Overrides|Travel distance threshold" needs to be set to zero to force retraction when travelling from one ring to the next. The random alignment suggestion may still help although I think it mostly helped by increasing travel distance and so forcing retractions.
