Any secrets on printing in place?

I can print the herringbone bearing, it just won’t actually turn after I do so.

Sounds like overextrusion. When I print the herringbone gear/bearing, etc I can free-spin it as it comes off the plate with very little “breaking in”. The object itself on thingiverse even says breaking it loose might be a little hard.

May be over extrusion, may be retraction tuning. Printers BUNCH quieter since I fixed the top pullies. May have to give it another attempt.

Also, any Z artifacts of X/Y backlash will cause the parts to be fused together. Non-orthogonal axes shouldn’t make them stick, but it will prevent them from turning.
