This is just a plain one with my maker's mark on the outer arms.I highly recommend using PETG for this print, as PLA is far too brittle at this thinness. I'd also recommend a lot of patience, as even in PETG, I had to print quite a few before getting a workable model. Pay special attention to the holes in the arms when removing from the print bed/supports, as they are very thin and prone to breaking if too much force is applied.

The middle ring can be pressed on either side a sm
