3D Printing Notes：

1.It is recommended to apply glue on the build plate to prevent warping.

2.The model includes a 4mm chamfer at the base. To ensure proper printing of the steep overhang at the bottom, the print profile uses Variable Layer Height—please make sure this feature is enabled.

3.For best light-blocking performance, use black or dark-colored filament. Lighter colors may allow light to bleed through. If you prefer using light-colored filament, maybe try increasing the wall thickness.
