3D printing settings

• Cura 5.0 above is the recommended slicer for this model. Rafts and Supports are generally better in Cura.
• The 3mf files were generated with Cura Slicer. STLs also provided for other slicers.
• The body requires tree supports when using "touch build plate only" support option. Please check the print preview before printing. It is better to print the two parts separately.
