Though in this case, I had the original product in usable condition, which let me do the measurements myself with little issue.<br><br>While breaking down the original, I identified numerous details that would be unnecessary in my design. In order to lessen the risk of the pieces breaking or other issues during printing, I decided to remove these, as they had little to no practical use.<br><br>One improvement that I would make, and aim to do, is to reduce the height of the surrounding frame, as it can be a little large.<br><br>Like most of my prints, the design was created in Maya, and sliced in Bambu Studio, and printed on a personal Bambu Labs P1P printer. It was later published on printables.com for public use.\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-with-title","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-72","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":161,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions\/161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkborgen.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
