This was my first design and print so I just ran the generic settings suggest in Cura.
The sides worked out perfectly but the cylinder cross member had some stringing affect on the bottom. I need to learn more and tweak the slicing settings. If you have any suggestions I would welcome any advice.

I designed the feet hole diameter to fit a 1/4 inch thread perfectly. I cut threads 114mm long and sawed a notch in the ends to use a flat head screw driver than just screwed them in. The sides are solid as a rock even when the cross member isn’t supporting the top.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
