Sarmale roller self boxed cockooned technology version

Don't ask me what Sarmale is, you have google for that, recipes online from Romania, Turkey and a dozen other countries, all good, awesome dish. One problem thou: Rolling them takes for ever, and the pain in the fingers lasts days if you prepare for a dozen guest, say... 5 Sarmale each guest. Hence my wife bought this Sarmale roller, and made instead of like 50 Sarmale in one hour, some 500 of them in one hour. Why 500? Because the damn machine is small, flimsy and feeble, hence it only takes very fine cabbage sheets or it snaps, just a little infill and the end result are Sarmale the size of my little finger, tasty but you have to eat 4 instead of one, hence 5 Sarmale for a meal becomes... 20. The Sarmale everybody normally makes are far bigger, not fist size, but some half fist diameter size. For many reasons, first, fine cabbage is but a few, so you throw away 80% of your pickled cabbage for nothing, but if you go bigger you waste next to nil. And the taste is great anyway. Second, they are faster to roll and to place in the boiling pot (preferably ceramic) hence to manage in cooking. So I designed this monster, nearly twice as long, 30% wider, double height, and... instead of 1 mm walls, I went for 5 mm walls all over, so you can really push no fears. Speaking of pushing, you exercise a fair amount of force horizontally and vertically on this machine, hence PRINT IT HORIZONTAL please to triple it's strength. Technical irrelevancies: 1; Print with PETG or PETG plus Carbon Fiber (food grade stuff, stiff and sturdy) no ABS no PLA or similar. If you are rich and have a good hot machine you can go Ultem or PEEK, but this would be a Ferrari Sarmale roller. 2; You might notice I did not post a file to print the fabric... buy that one, no printer today can print such thing. Silk or similar strong ribbon width of the machine. 3; The processing start end has 3 slots, the nearest to the slider makes the rolls thicker, the further one from the slider makes them thinner. 4; What else can you roll with this? Hmmm... Cigars? 5; You will notice the central slide has 3 versions, that is because of your printer size, if you have a platter long on Y 350mm you can print the 280mm in one go wit supports, but if you don't... there is a 250mm long version for platforms that can accomodate maximum 300 mm (supports can take some space around) and a 140mm version, that is for small platters like 200mm maximum, you print 2 of them, there are holes in the central flange to bolt them together and make a 280mm one on the classic way. 6; Self boxed version, this is my invention, cockooning the STL file prior to printing with a second filament support helps preventing warping, at the condition that the support filament is not prone to warping (PLA for instance, or PETG if on a glas bed to which it sticks horibly well, so well that it snaps glass shards out of the bed when you try to separate it) because large prints warp horibly in ABS, PETG Polycarbonate and other materials.
