Wow, looks great! Looks like you were able to trim it down a lot. I'm assuming "infil" is how much stuff is used when printing? |

The "slicer" program that converts the 3d model (.stl file) into the G-code for the specific printer you will be using allows you to select the desired pattern and percentage of infill, the outer layer thickness, and many other options. - Something like gyroid or cubic pattern at 20 or 30% infill with a 2mm outer shell (5 layers * 0.4mm nozzle) should work for printing this part with PETG filament. PETG is more flexible than the more commonly-used PLA. https://all3dp.com/2/infill-3d-printing-what-it-means-and-how-to-use-it/ Scott |

Very interesting, I figured it was something like that. Is there a place you can recommend to have it printed online? I don't own a 3d printer. |
