About this model

I had some trouble printing out the original model at a smaller size (65mm vs 80mm. Model is 80mm) using a flexible PETG. The ribs became very thin and were very flexible so accuracy was bad. The ribs are now reinforced with triangular connectors which can be cut away (use flush cutter) if more flexibility is needed. Sliced it in Cura using the experimental "make overhangs printable" feature on and added 0.3mm XY compensation to make the ribs a bit thicker. Printed 2x 0.6mm walls and 0% infill and without supports
