FWIW I rarely print above 20% infill during protoyping and even after that, I rarely print more than 40% for the final product.Got it off the printer a few minutes ago. Most of the supports came out clean, except for a few spots due to the bottom having a bevel. And for some reason, Cura keeps putting supports in the pen cavities. Dunno what's up with that. I can't remove them (yet) because I don't have long enough needlenose pliers.
Feels like 80% infill is a lot too solid.. Might to with 40% or so next time.
Bottom pic shows where the point of failure was. Part of the structure wasn't tying in very well, and I got concerned it could stress and break. Although now that I'm holding it in my hand, I really don't think that's likely over the short term.
For the blank itself, the FORD letters somehow needed their own support, and did *not* come off clean. If I put these up on Etsy, I'm going to replace them with an inlaid logo instead of an embossed one.
I'd move that over a tad, drop the FITS connector down, extend the support bar over as much of the face of the connector as I could, and add in a few mm between the model body and the connector.
