This design has the following Customizer options: ### General * `Diameter` - Diameter at widest point * `Sides` - Number of sides ### Bottom * `Bottom_Height` - Uncut height of bottom section * `Bottom_Cutoff_Percent` - Percentage to cut from bottom section ### Middle * `Middle_Height` - Height of middle section ### Top * `Top_Height` - Uncut height of top section * `Top_Cutoff_Percent` - Percentage to cut from top section ### Printing * `Orientation` - Rotate onto face for easier printing ### Preview * `Show_Uncut_Ends` - Show uncut ends in preview mode Design Considerations --------------------- In many cases, it should be possible to print designs without supports. For the best results, consider the angle of overhangs and use the `Orientation` option. Material -------- This design is perfect for printing in most filaments, but we recommend translucent filaments/resins in particular for this design. Versions -------- * 1.1 (29 Jan 2022) * Added Customizer tabs * Increased max `Sides` to 12 * Added option for middle section (`Middle_Height`) * Added `Show_Uncut_Ends` preview option * Updated `Orientation` options: * Renamed `Side` to `Bottom Side` * Added new `Side` option * Added `Top Side` option * 1.0 (28 Jan 2022) - Initial version Printing -------- Recommended slicer settings: * Resolution: 0.1mm - 0.2mm * Infill: ~10 - 20% recommended. * Supports: Should not be required for most designs, but designs with significant overhangs will require supports. * Rafts: Not required, unless you experience adhesion issues.
