It is better to print the Base and Body pieces on a heated bed to avoid distortion and print the Balcony and Optics pieces at slow speed. No support is necessary. There are two Balcony and Optics2 files, you must choose the one suited for your printer's capabilities. The Optics2b part includes support rods that need to be removed manually after printing.
