LOVE this model by agepbiz, added a loop for mounting it to a string.  3 different variants Front, Mid, and Back.  I print in Yellow Novamaker PETG, then hit it with a heat gun to bend it into awesome shapes.

The “Big” models are scaled to fit on an i3Mk3 bed, but can be scaled up.

The “Small” models (20% of big) are better if you want to print smaller than 50% of the “Big”. If you print the Small at 100%, best results are obtained by going slower than the default PETg profile, and using 0.1 Detail.

Big: 100%≥ →50% (0.2 Speed)

Small: 100%(0.1 Detail)→250%(0.2 Speed).

This and the original model have a tendency to fail on the first layer if the legs dont stick well.  HIGHLY recommend either a swipe of windex before printing, or a spray of Hair Spray (yes even on the textured or smooth sheet).  (I have printed over 130 of these, all in PETg, have been using hairspray and windex on textured and smooth sheets for now over 4 years of abuse thousands of prints, and my plates are still in perfect condition, still on the original side.)

You can pair this with a controller (Pico 2040, Arduino, favorite CircuitPython Board, or others), and a cheap 28BYJ-48 stepper and print this model to make them go up and down:

One Other thing to note.  Novamaker Yellow PETG is nicely Blacklight reflective.
