FINALLY GOT THE PATTERN NAILED DOWN!
It has to be set up like this to get the 4-color Kongo-S* spiral I was looking for. Grouping it any other way won't result in the spiral I wanted!
*Setup is identical for the Kongo-Z and Kongo-S&Z methods.

This thing fucking rules holy shit its so efficient at what it does.
It may only be a half-moon but with my new telescope I have gotten so tight on the moon that I can see some of the Maria and some craters. Not the ones I want to see but I can come back next weekend to do this better.
Used a filament I hadn't touched since the Pandemic today. Setup made it a little tricky, but once I got that settled it was fine.
The same print bed I use for PETg made printing with this filament a breeze, as opposed to using the sheet I use for PLA. Which requires a separation layer.
So I wrapped up that project I had on the jig and put away the tama in their drawers. I just got fed up with that project, tbh. It was nothing but an experiment in technique and it only demonstrated that that particular jig is not very efficient at what I designed it for.
I also located the shade card from my supplier for when I want to get the synthetic real thing instead of the cotton embroidery thread I've been using for the last 8 years.
So that's fun.
NEW SERVICE IDEA
Production print review.
Send me "plans" and "Drawings" you want to release and I'll review them and make sure the math works and even, for a fee, create actual industry-standard plans using CAD for you to use in your plans.
(The reason for this idea is that I am now 2/2 on plans that I have paid actual money for that are nigh-incomprehensible because the drawings are not to scale, the math is flat wrong, or there is too much crammed into a view that makes understanding what it is I'm looking for impossible to find, if it's mentioned at all.)
