Just finished this, and the outlines didn’t come out perfect, and the largest circle didn’t cut all the way through (mostly… had to pop it out). Might I have set something up wrong? Something need adjusting?
Just curious, were the lenses actually noticeably dirty? Was it self-inflicted (fingerprints) or something else?

Actually they were not noticeably dirty. When I was first putting it together, I noticed I got a print on the side lens, and immediately cleaned it off. I was careful to not touch the ones on the bottom. So when I took the print head off to try cleaning again, I didn’t see any prints, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to clean 'em anyway, on the advice of someone in another group.
I suspect your lens was upside down… You got the orientation right the second time around.
I did not remove it. Just wiped it off externally.
