My 3D Printer Thinks I’m an Idiot (Telescope Edition)

I set out to 3D print a simple collimator sleeve for my Takahashi telescope. Easy, right? Wrong. My first three attempts were complete disasters — warped, cracked, and just plain useless. By the time I hit attempt number four, I was questioning my life choices (and my 3D printer’s opinion of me). Watch me fumble through failure after failure in true DIY fashion.

Now, this is a first one for me. 🤬

The underside of a table. Visible is a tangled knot of yellow filament with the axle of the filament holder entangled in it.
In the lower half of the image a diy drybox in which parts of another spool are visible.

Was ist denn da bitte los? Da las ich vorhin meiner Tochter "Hase und Igel" vor und dann so etwas....
Und das ist neu gedruckt. So etwas schreit doch danach nen gestempelt zu bekommen.
