Description

This is a remix of the wonderful original design by @manabunI. I printed the small and large in white and black PLA, respectively. As per others who have requested a larger version, I found that the "large" size is really just medium, the quality and very long USB cable (which is the kind needing a reel to begin with) I have will not fit the "large" version. So, I hacked out a "XL" sized version myself from the original by keeping the center screw parts the same but expanding everything else in X and Y dimensions by 125%. All three are shown for relative scale. They all work GREAT! This is a very good design for aesthetics and function, but NOT for 3D printing, this is not an easy print, and the intended elegant curves on part C are doomed to a less attractive roughness no matter how you slice it (literally). Expect some time finishing with knife and sand paper. Printing in white mitigates this almost completely, but you can see the sanded roughness in the black PLA.

Due to the curves, all parts require variable layer height for printability and nice appearance. Part A needs (I think, didn't try without it) support under the dome, the other parts do not need support. Part C, however, won't print without some kind of brim or it will likely pop off mid print, I manually added four oval pads in Prusaslicer to serve as partial brim.
