This model was heavily inspired by the Bosch GKF 18V-8 trim router base by woelpi. 

I made my own, simplified version of it. I skipped the dust collection bits and made the handle a separate part that comes with a hole in the bottom for a heatset insert, This lets me easily connect it with an m5 bolt, which i added some loctite to as well. The bolt also strengthens the weakest part of the handle, especially since the forces there are  along the layer lines. 

I followed woelpis recommendation of printing it from a strong base material (PETG-CF) for the main body, with a few layers of ordinary PETG for extra smoothness. I also enabled ironing, and its really nice and smooth.
