Print Recommendations: Layer height: 0.16 mm Perimeters: 2x First layer compensation: -0.1 mm Seam position: random XY outline compensation: -0.02 mm Make sure the print bed is properly degreased (e.g., with IPA) Due to tight tolerances, some post-print freeing of parts may be required If you don't have perfectly calibrated filament profile (flow) decrease it slightly. Note: Prints in one piece β no assembly needed! For even smoother spinning, you can add a few drops of oil to the gears.
