Designed to need no supports and print in 2 simple parts.

Recommend using smooth build plate and 0.2mm nozzle if you have them.

The only real challenge here is printing the very fine scale lines without them detaching from the bed during the first layer. I was able to get a good result by using a 0.2mm nozzle, increasing the bed temp slightly to 60c, and slowing the first layer down to 20mm/s. It prints consistently well with those settings. Possibly you could get away with using a 0.4mm nozzle if you set the wall generator to Arachne. But a 0.2mm nozzle is probably best.

Recommend using 100% infill, otherwise it feels extremely lightweight.

edit-- I uploaded 3mf files for a slightly shorter version that should fit on the A1 Mini build plate (just rotate it diagonally). I do not have an A1 Mini to test, but it looks like it will work.
