Printing

I recommend printing with the .3mf files, which already have these suggested settings.

I used 0.15mm layer height for everything and I have a 0.6mm nozzle on my Prusa Mini. The nozzle
size doesn't matter, but make sure you aren't accidentally printing my .3mf files with settings that suit
a 0.6mm nozzle if you have a 0.4mm nozzle.

Base

• no special settings

Letters

To add weight to the letters, you can cut up some 12mm steel rods into 12mm lengths. You will need 16 pieces.

• print on a 2-layer raft
• use "Snug" supports
• "Support on build plate only"
• set it to pause the print at the top of the hollow cylinder to insert the steel rods

Lid

• add a "modifier cube" at the bottom and set 0 top and 0 bottom layers so that the infill makes a mesh covering
• use Gyroid infill at 20%

Painting

I don't know a good way to paint the letters. If you figure it out let me know! I used model-making enamel
paint with a tiny paintbrush and took my time, but the paint job still lets it down.

Assembly

Once the parts are printed you can optionally put 8mm by 2mm neodymium magnets in the corners of the parts.
I did this but found it worked perfectly fine without them, and in fact the magnets stick
the parts together a bit too hard so you may prefer not to.
