3D Printing Disclaimer:

Thank you for downloading my CAD design! I want to assure you that extensive testing and iteration went into creating this design. However, please keep in mind that 3D printing involves a wide range of variables, including different types of filament, printer settings, and calibration levels. These factors can significantly impact the final print.

Before concluding that the design is flawed, I encourage you to:

• Check your printer calibration: Ensure your printer is properly calibrated. Especially filament shrinkage.

• Adjust print settings: Try changing the print settings to achieve better results.

• Resize the model: Scaling the model up or down slightly may resolve fit issues.

Remember, these are development boards and sometimes have very fragile parts. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to me. I am here to help and can provide guidance to achieve the best results. Claiming a design is bad without considering these variables does a disservice to the community and may discourage others from trying a design that could work perfectly with minor adjustments.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Happy printing!
