3D printing parts

I don't have any pics of the final product but I was able to screenshot a few views from the slicer program I used before printing them. The mounts are really small. I think the large disc was only 10 or 12 mm in diameter and only 2 or so mm thick. I need to edit my STL file to make the prong part that snaps into the Bulletpoint grid a little thicker. They break too easily with how thick they are now. The mounts are upside down in the pic below. The slicer said they would print better in that orientation.

That looks pretty good! Printing them at 45 degree angle will definitely make them stronger. Do they have PETG? It has more flex than PLA. I am guessing you are putting them into a Rubigrid?

No, only PLA since this is a free service. This is my first attempt at designing and printing an object so I'm learning a lot!

PETG has more flex and will withstand the heat better than PLA. PLA is stronger but not as forgiving in the heat or impact.

Here's a pic of the real one in use.

You just couldn't wait until Bulletpoint created a solid aluminum $10 duck mount?

So does anyone have a san or file for the back hardtop blocks to use when removing the top?
