This was designed to reduce the neck strain from tilting your head back to ensure a proper mouthpiece angle and a proper horn angle while playing mellophone in marching band.
Pros:
- Reduces neck strain
Cons:
- Fragile*
- More Arm Strain
- Plays slightly differently
*The angler tends to break very easily when bumped, leaving half of it stuck inside. If this happens, it is pretty easy to wedge something in there and twist it out.

In PrusaSlicer, you may have to disable retractions as they tend to cause rough sides. Cura does not have this issue.
Reduce cooling to help with layer adhesion. In PrusaSlicer, disabling auto cooling should be sufficient with PLA.
PETG may help with durability, but it may also be difficult to smoothly. Pictured part printed in Prusament Urban Grey PETG.
Scale up by 1% for easier fit.
