This is designed to print quickly, and print on any printer.
Use PLA preferentially, but ABS is okay.
Get a piece of transparent plastic (like a transparency sheet) and slide it in between the gap after temporarily expanding the two outer arcs with your hand. Then smooth it out.
Optionally, you can secure it in any number of ways, but it should stay there by friction.
This design is intended to be quick to print, and easy to resize. It should print well on older printers.
If your printer has been running nonstop lately, and it's off calibration, print it with a raft, otherwise don't.
The idea here is that any piece of transparent plastic may be used.
There is now also a stackable version so that you can leave your printer on overnight and get multiple copies; you will have to separate the copies with a wire cutter or x-acto knife. The stackable version SHOULD be printed with a raft.
