our discussion today reminded me that I add build-plates, both 3MF and GCode, for the printing the parts on Prusa. I've done 4 sets of them in PLA, worked great - easy enough to trim the supports required.

Note that I also renamed the main branch to 'main' in our repo. this is just a current best practice.

up to you. to me, having a build-plate as well as code for the specific printers in ETA seemed like a good idea.

I think providing a 3mf example is fine. I just wasn't comfortable with your layouts. Also I wanted them all on a single print.

I looked at the orientation you provided - and decided that printing with supports (with an extra 0.1 offset added) was a cleaner print - and seemed like it would be stronger given that the pressure occurs orthogonal to the layers.
also, i wasn't sure if those parts printed on their sides would print as cleanly.

the .gcode - was just extra - i figured i already had them sliced and ready to go - why not add them - suitably named for our specific printers. makes it easier for someone in-studio to print them at least.

also i had kind of weird behavior after opening your 3MF files in PrusaSlicer - I could not access my normal profiles after I opened yours - I had to stop/start the slicer again. I don't know why.

so anyway, if people are in ETA and just want to print them, then they can access either the 3mf or the .gcode files as appropriate.
