What caused this failure?

I'm not sure if this belongs in the "first prints troubleshooting" forum, as I've made about 30 successful prints already, all flawless. But, for lack of a better place:

What caused this failure? This print looks beautiful right until the moment when it doesn't. Camera recording of the print shows nothing out of the ordinary.

I would be grateful for any suggestions and hints.

RE: What caused this failure?

What did you try to print?
Which model, which filament, which settings? You should zip and attach you project to give needed data.

Oh, sorry. I'll attach the STL and gcode. I should probably also say that this STL printed fine as part of a multi-object print just a day earlier, same filament, same settings.

I'm using Fiberlogy EasyPLA bright green and slicing with the "Fiberlogy PLA" preset, which from what I can tell isn't much different from the Generic PLA setting, 215C first layer, 210C subsequent layers. 0.20mm layer height, no supports, 15% infill.

EDIT: ok, I'm not sure what happens to the files that you attach to posts, but they don't seem to appear anywhere. The STL is from the "Venus Box" project ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559232), it's the COVER2.STL file.

Please ZIP and attach your .3mf so we can see your settings. You must ZIP your files or they won't attach.

PrusaSlicer 2.4.0 is complaining about 1652 errors, which can be repaired with netfabb. Have you already tried this?

Well, I guess I'll have to treat this failure as a fluke. Cosmic rays or something. I printed this again without issues, and all my other prints are fine. Still no idea what went wrong here, but at least it seemed to have been a one-off.

RE:

I'm glad it printed. I studied your .3mf and couldn't find any obvious issues. Spheres tend to be more challenging for filament printers to print well.
