The model has no base. It's as if it's meant to be screwed down to piece of wood.
I designed a base and some peg rivets that seem to work well.
I printed mine at 50% infill. With bottom 12-15 solid layers. Gyroid infill. I did this because I wanted the base to be heavy. You may want to add brim to the rivets. I have a sliceworks flexdipped plate and everything sticks like magic so I didn't do that. But you might try it.
Assembly is pretty simple. The holes almost line up perfectly but not quite. This is good! I was able to get two rivets to seat easily. Then for the other two I clipped some of the shaft off of the rivet at an angle using the flush cutters we all have…. This made it seat as a friction fit…. as in no glue. It worked perfectly for me.
Standard base should work if printed heavy….. Wide base for Tetra1 if you need additional support. I actually clued the standard base to the wide base for extra height.
