How should I print this modified electronics box?
Hi,
I'm interested in implementing this mod to square up the Mini's axis: Z Axis Modification
How do I print the modified electronic box in the mod? There appears to be some overhangs that I assume need supports, particularly on the sidewalls for cable openings, on the bottom where there are recesses for nuts, foam padding, etc. I don't want to re-print this multi-hour part if I mess up the settings. I'd appreciate any help/pointers so to save me time and wasted filament.
1) Do I need to use supports? Only need supports for some of the sidewall overhangs or all overhangs? or even the recesses on the bottom?
2) How should I set the infill? 100% for more strength?
3) I assume it needs to be printed bottom side down on the build plate for the least overhangs. Or is there a better way to position it on the build plate?
Thanks!

Print it just the way you show it plated. I looked at the 3d model in your link and it's designed to be printed as is. The designer uses angles to reduce bridging. He doesn't mention infill so I'll assume 20% should be sufficient.

Thank you for the reply. I have printed it as such and worked out nicely.
