Print Specifications (All 4 Components)

Assembly Instructions

1. Print all 4 components in your chosen filament (PETG tested for durability)
2. Cake Cone base — Prints right-side up, minimal supports

Critical Printing Notes

• Print right-side up to maintain detail quality
• Ensure clean first layer for optimal threading/screw connections
• PETG recommended for superior hinge retention on screw threads and durability
• Test on a small print first before committing to full 6-hour run
• Optimized for Ender-3 V2 with BLTouch bed leveling
• Uses off-print purge line to prevent nozzle blobs

Display & Use Ideas

• Realistic display: Print in cream/white, display on desk or shelf
• Funny prank: Swap to melted top for hilarious "melting ice cream" effect
• Hidden stash: Use compartment to store small items (USB drives, notes, jewelry)
• Glowing decoration: Add tea-light inside for ambient lighting and hidden glow effect
• Gift-worthy: Customizable colors make it a unique, personalized present
