This pen incorporates tulle fabric into the print which requires some way of pausing your printer while the netting is being secured in place.
"A" files print two parts at a time speced at 2mm apart. This is usefull insomuch as that 2mm of mesh between the parts makes a great lid-hinge and also helps when aligning the parts ready for gluing.
Not that the two sides will also be joined in the same way but will need to be seperated so they can be fit.
"B" files are for use with smaller printers and only print one (180mm square) side at a time. You may choose not to bother with a lid especially if you have a lid on your fish tank anyway.
Printing tips:-
By default all parts are 2mm thick (high)
Pause your printer at 1mm while you secure the tulle mesh over the print using small clips on the edge of the bed or a 3D pen.
