I printed on Bambu Labs X1 Carbon and it came out great with one small change. I printed stem separately from lid and it didn't sit well or lock into place. There were several "knobs" that stuck out from lid into stem attach area. I thought these were maybe to lock stem into place, but no such luck. Stem had a lot of daylight holes where it mated to lid. So I used needle nose pliers and removed all those knobs and stem fit perfectly. Then just super-glued stem onto lid and all is great.
Next question for you is how in the world does the stem go into the lid. From what I've printed it doesn't look like it will snap in there any which way. Should it look like this on the top ?

I'm sure you made the individual pumpkin stem the way you did for a reason but, is there a trick to make sure that all those little 30+ dots do their job to stick and hold it to the build plate through the whole printing process ? Also Dave what slicer do you use ? I use Cura and I wanted to find out if it was just me but slicing the body of the pumpkin took for ever. Is that kind of normal for a stl file like this ?
Oh, the lid didn't have in issue sitting flat on the build plate that one turned out very nice. It was the stem and this is how it looked. It doesn't come into Cura flat on the build plate so I had to snap it flat and this is what I ended up with. https://imgur.com/aSmY5PK
Hi! The pumpkin lid should sit flat on the build plate and just print as a solid surface... I'll look into why you might be getting those dots, but in the mean time you could going into setting and turn of "lower model automatically to build plate" and then lower the model slightly below the build plate. That should get you a better first layer.
I use Cura too and it does take a long time, but I have had trouble with Version 5.4.0 and sometimes go back to 5.0.0 to get something to work :)
