Which precision limit was exacerbated when constructing larger astrolabes?

💡 Explanation

The outcome of increases were hand-engraving angular inaccuracies, due to finer markings being required because the physical area to represent angular degrees expanded when the astrolabe grew in size; thereby mechanical precision limited resolution rather than just material selection alone.
