1-3: interesting
4: I added a brim after trying to print the whole thing in one go wasn't even
sticking.  So I sliced it in half and rotated it so that I was printing a
semicircle.

The issue was that the print head suddenly crashed into the top of the piece and
flung it off the plate.

I am going to look into "z-lift" and "z-hop", as well as try to run some
calibration tests on the extrusion.  Maybe bake the filament to make sure it's
bone-dry.

I'm also going to reorient it so that can make 2 "clam-shell" pieces and glue
them together.  Now that I can calculate the exact radius at each point of the
cyclide, I'm planning on printing spheres so that I have a Steiner chain.

Indeed it should!  :)
Thanks for the tips.
