Hello.
The problem could probably be due to the bad layer adhesion qualities of the silk filament you are printing with.
Silk PLA needs different settings like lower speed, no cooling fan and sometimes higher temps compared to other PLA materials.
Hopefully this helps!

I had no clue, I can retry. the colour is the same as the one similar to bambu’s website so I thought it would auto adjust the project settings when I chose the right filament type?!
EDIT
It seems like some fillaments just don't want to work.
PLA Silk Gold works just fine.
PLA Silk Copper doesn't.
or maybe it's just mine. Maybe it came out of a bad batch?
Hello!
Thank you for sharing.
The disk and the teardrop have a very small cross-sectional area. When increasing that area you lose a part of the model since you have to cut off a part of the design. On the other hand, when decreasing that area you increase the risk of failure.
Normal support probably doesn't work with this design so that is no solution either.
In this print profile, I tried optimizing the balance between the above factors.
I think that your prints keep failing because the layer adhesion for (copper) Silk PLA filament is really bad compared to normal PLA filament. (At least in my experience).
Therefore I would recommend printing the silk at higher temperatures, lower fan speeds, and (way) lower printing speeds or, using other materials. For additional information see this link: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/printing-with-silk-filaments
The fact that your print failed three times is because of the high repeatability of the process of 3D printing. When a 3D print fails once, it is very likely to fail all other times when printing the same file.
Hopefully, with the use of this information, you will be able to successfully print the design either in the silk filament or other filaments.
Please share the results and feel free to ask for help!

Used a red/green silk PLA. it came out absolutely gorgeous! it’s hard to see the filament change in the photo but videos and IRL it’s so pretty!!! Love this design!
