Matches the original design as closely as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePrinting\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile PLA can probably be made to work, I recommend printing the base using a stronger material like PETG. My PLA builds broke rather easily during testing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing OrcaSlicer on a Bambu Lab X1C, I found printing with auto-orientation and auto-supports resulted in significant scarring on the exposed side of the base. To prevent this from happening, orient the base upright, with the larger travel stop facing downward. With supports added under the exterior overhangs, everything should come out nicely.
