Notes:
- Arachne for the wall generator is important as it will make the logo on the top of the case turn out a lot nicer.
- All top surfaces for ironing type will give a much nicer finish on the top side, but it probably is not necessary for the case to turn out alright.
- You can use a higher or lower density/pattern for the infill. I tend to get the best results with gyroid style, and I've printed as low as 10% infill without issue.
- I use hybrid tree supports to avoid an issue where normal supports want to create a tower all the way up the side of the box instead of just starting in the slide opening and going straight up 10mm to the other side of the slide opening.
- This is very important! I have a Pause at Layer 12 and I am selecting my Red PLA as the support/raft interface. This is because there are 4 colors in the case/logo and I just have the one AMS, but it's easy to swap the red filament out for support filament part-way through the print. I highly advise using some kind of support filament so you can get a smooth slot for the slide to move through.
- Smooth timelapse is used because we need a prime tower anyways, might as well get a cool timelapse while we're at it.
