Not There Yet But Improved

Well that helped! Obviously still a lot going wrong here, but notice we're now getting at least one perimeter. I have given perimeters a 50% overlap, which is excessive but functional. I am running into problems where Prusaslicer cannot comprehend that a print head can deposit material that is deeper than it is wide - which is the first layer case for this configuration.

Looks like the fibre end blobbed over (oval feature, bottom) which so far has meant I've been moving too slowly. Obviously things fell apart in the top right. A lot of perimeter fragments are visible, so maybe try more overlap? I also appear to have over-compensated for that unknown aspect ratio distortion on the Y axis.

The nice thing to see is the beginning of a double flexure joint in the right-angled feature top centre. You'll need to zoom in for that, but it's much more visible under the binocular microscope, particularly with the UV illumination. Photo taken with my phone as the Svbony has no UV filter and whites out.
