The base printed great, but there were issues with the poles. 1. Quite a lot of stringing. I used default preset for PETG Translucent, and the filament was dry (dried for 16 hours, previous - larger - prints from the same spool were ok), Maybe tuning some filament parameters could help. 2. Top layers of some poles printed with holes or just not perfect (bridge with 1 wall may fail to adhere to the wall, the slicer even warned about "floating regionsr). I didn't like how the poles looked, so I decided to cast them in epoxy. Printed the poles in PLA with standard 0.12mm preset (had almost no stringing this time), made a silicone mold from it, then used slow curing epoxy (not sure if regular epoxy would work fine, considering length of the poles). 4 days of waiting, but it was worth it - this variant looks cooler and is even brighter than PETG.

Printed in Bambu Lab ASA, 15% infill, calibrated for shrinkage (99.36%). Lowered some speeds based on @Theodisk's settings (150 mm/s outer wall, 250 inner wall, 250 sparse infill) and used 5mm brim for side parts. Printed great, dovetails were a little too hard to fit (probably imperfect shrinkage scaling), but thankfully didn't break. Seems sturdy enough, but front and middle struts bend downward a little - maybe will reprint with more infill or a stiffer filament.
