Bed Adhesion Issue:L-shaped pieces will not stick to the bed, failed same way regardless of plate after about 8 layers. I tried smooth plate, smooth plate with glue, textured plate, textured plate with glue. Profile may just need to go slower, but I’m giving up

@The1qrobo1

use brim, that’s what I did

REALLY? What a little baby. Giving up and giving 1 star because you aren't smart enough to get a print to work. If you want all your plastic prints to be perfect without any effort, sell your printer and just have someone more mature do it for you. What a joke.

1) Assemble the four triangles to make one loop. I just posted a video of the assembly, so please refer to this as well. https://youtu.be/tnPC77kcltg 2) If you feel friction in the rotation, I assume it is because the circles of the joint parts are not well formed.If you use a support when printing the curved joint parts, it may improve the accuracy of modeling and allow smooth rotation.

no supports were the only way I managed to get the edges to adhere to the build plate Otherwise, after a bit of assembly, it works very well

Bed Adhesion Issue:Having issues getting the links to adhere. In my second print, 4 of 12 detached during printing and ended up ruining all of the others. Consider adding brim if you want to print them oriented vertically.

@The1qrobo1

use the second print profile

@rennim

Replying to @The1qrobo1 :

I made that print profile. complete fixed the adhesion issue. and the links work great printed in the other orientation.

@FairQueen

how do you put it together?

The designer has replied

@KeishiroUeki

You can check my youtube video for reference. I'm sorry I put this video link in this model's description, but for some reason it doesnt show 🤔 https://youtube.com/shorts/rZcHhY7ZhpA?si=Ud8A4L8QAFjmy9De

@FairQueen

Replying to @KeishiroUeki :

thank you

@FairQueen

Replying to @KeishiroUeki :

that only shows how to put one part together. how do you put the whole thing together?

@panp0d

The designer has replied

@KeishiroUeki

Yes. I posted it https://youtu.be/tnPC77kcltg
