Hi, all. Looking for some advice and guidance on how to add this graphic to a printed poker chip. So far, tried printing it like a lithophane but the detail only shows when pressed against a light. Flashforge AD5X is what I'm working with with Flashstudio. A Friend of mine is starting a poker league and was looking for custom chips.

I cannot figure out what I have screwed up.

I tried to run a 3mf file and now I cannot for the life of me get PLA to print correctly.

I have tried 3 different spools of PLA, two regular and one pla-cf

the bottom adheres to the build plate very well, in fact to damned well. It is a cryo glacier plate but everything above 3-5mm is just fragile and stringy. I tried to print the enclosure and the base just ripped off of it. then I had to use a scaper to get the bottom off because it was like glue on the plate.

Now for the weird part, or more weird part. if I print tpu is prints beautifully. good adhere. once it cools pops right off the plate.

The cryo plate is new as well but it does not make sense that that would cause the top area to be so fragile.

I took a video of the supports inside as well as pics of a project I printed and the stuff that feels like it is glued to the build plate.

will attach pics one the video loads.

Okay, I know it seems really stupid, but with the say the spool holders face shouldn’t this be the only option? Because the way these spin it should be the only way to keep it smooth, and the other way would lead to the maximum spin amount being reached right? But I’ve seen videos and they all have it facing the other way
