Print instructions

This was made on a Raise 3D printer with a .8 nozzle using PETG. It's recommended that the first layer width and height be increased in slicing to help with bed adhesion and decrease warping.

The tolerances are very tight to join the powerbox and main compartment. Some assistance (a mallet) may be needed. However, the fit is tight enough that it essentially becomes one piece.
