I've been having no luck with a filament change. Don't know why but this sparkly stuff does not play nice with my printer at all! Tried 3 time to print the YZ plate and still having problems with it being stringy. Finally switched to a black filament and my default config and it is back to printing normal. First experience with a filament that actually altered my prints so drastically!
Anyhow, this last print was the closest I got to a working one with the odd filament. Except one thing strikes me odd about the model. If you look closely you will notice that one bearing mount sockets on the front as well as one on the back are not sunk in as I would expect (round bearing in a round hole... This is a square socket not half as deep as I would expect it to be.)
I can't figure it out. It wouldn't be a print error, not on the top and one on the underside (not sag and fill error on same print, or to that extreme. ) and they are in different areas, so not related. They are 90 degrees to each other, so it's not an alignment error. You can see the fill seperation.. This is how slicer saw the model. Here's a closup of the top one on the right. Notice the hole is not sunk in or round.

Directly to the left, then flip it over is the one on the reverse. The infill pattern seperation really shows that slicer saw the model like this.

They are about half the depth (from the edge) as all the others. They are not half round, just flat. So the bearing would sit half as deep.
I haven't tried it, so it may be designed this way and actually be in line for the mount. Is it correct? It just doesn't look right to me but if it's an error, I would have no idea what to look for!
