Printing tips

Models are made for 0.4mm nozzle (or smaller)
It's a single wall width (light blue parts on renders)

Printed with 2 walls
15% gyroid infill - used just for few layers on the base
0.12 and 0.16mm layer height (you can also try 0.2 to speed up the print but it's alread pretty fast to print)
First layer is best looking when set to  'octagram spiral' or 'concentric' pattern
No supports needed

You can use Pattern-Diffuser model (merged with base model) to fill the pattern with one wall inside
The light will be diffused then, there will be no holes but pattern will be visible
Some models are printed with this - check photos

IMPORTANT
Use Classic Perimeter / Wall Generator - NOT Arachne (wich sometimes is making holes instead of a wall)
Cura Slicer is not recommended to use (it's only with Arachne) - walls doesn't look smooth but I did not print it so maybe it will not look bad - you can test it on the free model

Gap infill should be ON

It may be best to turn on Print infill first / Infill before perimeters

---

Always check your model in slicer in layers view
If you will have more holes in preview than shown in models you should check if you slicing settings are right
