Hitchhiker's Guide 42 Life, the Universe, and Everything baseplate

Changed the plaque so that it says 'Life, the Universe, and Everything' and has the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy symbol. Added a very shallow indent with more than enough tolerance so that the 42 sits in place and doesn't move around on the baseplate too much.

The 42, which I have included for convenience, is not my model.

Notes:

I used PrusaSlicer's color change setting to have the print pause at the right layer so that I could manually change the filament, to give the plaque a dual-tone look to make it easier to read.

Post-Printing =============

Print the plaque lying down, in order to get the dual color print. Glue this to the baseplate piece on the slanted portion using a glue such as CA glue (superglue).
