Off topic but I'd recommend printing this stand on its side vs the back.
In its current orientation the stress would be dispersed directly against the layers and it'll be more prone to break.
If you print it in the side it'll spread the stress across multiple layers. The annoying bit would be the need for supports on that split.
For the lines you could try a fuzzy texture.
That makes sense, thank you. I still added supports for this orientation under the top end of the curve. It was originally designed to print on the bottom, but I changed it this way because the original orientation needed too much support. I should have printed it on its side.
not the original commenter, but it always amazes me how strong a 3d print can be if made considering the layers orientation, and how weak when I don't
I bet on more cooling due to shorter layer time in that area. Maybe the fan is blowing harder, check your cooling fan settings, and minimum layer time.
Chiming in to say: in that print orientation the weight of your device is putting stress on the weakest part of the print — the layer lines. Something to be aware of.
It’s hard to tell from the photo what the issue may be. It looks a bit like over-extrusion but I’d put my money on highly reduced layer print time causing the fan to ramp way up and getting more shrinking.
