The beauty of this design is that it's high capacity, wide but not very tall, meaning it can be slid under a monitor. It's very stable as well.
I liked the designer's use of multicolor, but anyone who's tried angled color changes like that knows that will lead to a 2 color transitions every layer over many layers and that is pure pain! Instead I made the upright section at the bottom one color and the angled section another. This still leads to 6 color changes because the hexagons extend below this transition, but it limits it to 6.
I used eSUN PLA+ light blue for the base and (amazing looking) IEMAI silver/blue silk dual color PLA for the angled portion.
No special print settings are needed. This is just 0.2mm layers, 15% grid infill, no supports, no brim.
