If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding the model, please let me know.

Please read the description and printing recommendations carefully before printing to avoid fitting or assembly issues.
This model was sliced and successfully tested using Bambu Studio and printed on a Bambu Lab A1.
The included files are already oriented for printing. There is no need to use the slicer's automatic orientation feature, as changing the orientation may affect print quality, support placement, or part tolerances.
If you decide to use your own slicer settings, please ensure that part orientation and tolerances are preserved for the best assembly experience.
The model requires approximately 200 g of filament when printed at its default scale (100%). Actual filament usage may vary slightly depending on your slicer settings.
Recommended Print Settings
Use the included 3MF file with its default settings for the best printing experience.
If you prefer using your own slicer settings, feel free to do so. Just make sure to preserve the designed tolerances, as changing them too much may result in parts that fit too loosely or too tightly.
This model requires supports. Tree supports are recommended for the best results.
