I decided to print some WCC's for friends and family. I really wanted a clean print and any accurate model out there is going to have some overhang issues, even when printed on a vertex.
NEW SIZES AND PLATES.
I took the Weighted Companion Cube by Poh -

and sliced it in half for overhang-free printing.
I personally think the ugly of a seam is lesser than the ugly of drooping overhangs and/or support trimmings. This model enlarges very nicely, but slight warpage might be a problem for large prints, resulting in an uneven seam.
I've been playing with this Thing, and the "Hollow" has an underside that minimizes the contact with the print bed, in an effort to get warp free prints. Hasn't worked any better than the other versions, BTW.
I preserved the original GNU- GPL license in this minor remix.
