@Steve It's actually kind of underwhelming. I think part of it is I ran thr outer perimeters too slow and the overhangs sagged a little giving a fuzzy appearance, and part of it is the individual segments, so you don't really get that continuous outer perimeter like in the gear. At any rate, the print that finally adhered failed because the extruder stripped the filament out 2/3 of the way through ... my fault for having too aggressive retraction settings. To make matters worse, I tried to recover the print with manual gcode edits, screwed up the Z height, and rammed my BLTouch into the model at full speed. Suffice it to say I'm a little frustrated with it right now, so I went back to printing lithophanes for my wife for mother's day. :)

Did you have any bed adhesion issues? I just got a roll of Quantum and have found it quite challenging to stick, although it was with some small parts (the McGuybeer articulated dragon). Finally got good stick with a brim. That demo gear looks really good though.

Glad to see a fix! Does this put silk PLA back on the table? I've been wanting to build an EB for a while, but had kind of been set on the look of silk/metallic PLA before you posted about the issue, and haven't been able to find a "regular" PLA I was happy with for this application.
