Side notes to the print guidelines


[1] You can succeed with Support cubic infill type (slicer support may vary).

[2] As low as 25% infill for all parts if are aiming for faster print speeds and less filament usage.

PLA, PLA+, and PETG are also considerable filament choices.

A wall count of 4 is an absolute must to ensure the structural integrity of the parts. There is no need to go over the top with this. 4 walls are OK for this particular build.
