Summary

This is a baseplate for a ShelterLogic canopy. The legs fit inside it then the plate itself gets staked down.

There are two versions:

Normal - which tries to copy the look of the original closely
Heavy Duty - which adds additional strength.

Post-Printing

Post Printing cleanup and tweaking

            <div><p>Because I printed this without retraction, there was some internal spidering that needed to be cleaned up.  I just got violent with a pair of pliers.</p><p>There is an arm that can be used as a tie down.  This needs to be manually cut free (or melted free).  I have not done that in these photos.</p></div>

How I Designed This

I designed by taking basic measurements and modeling it in OpenSCAD.

The heavy-duty version was created trying to come up with a more reliable print (which turned out to be related to retraction settings).

I left the heavy duty version should someone rather use it.
