Traxxas Slash roof skid

Description
Summary
This is a roof skid I made for my Traxxas Slash BL2s 2wd. I feel like I'm always flipping my Slash, so I wanted to make a skid for it like the Maxx, Rustler 4x4, or several other Traxxas vehicles. Since all of the Slash bodies are the same, it would work for any of the different models, clipless or not. I made it to be held on by four screws, 1.5mm (ish) in diameter, screwed through pre-drilled holes in the body directly into the skid. It's designed to be very tight on clearance, so you may need to drill out the skid holes slightly depending on what size of screws you have laying around. In Solidworks, the holes are 1.5mm, but post-printing, they were probably slightly less than 1mm. Like I said, some refining will probably be needed. Mine has held up very well with about 25 run hours, so it should be good. An updated version utilizing the same mounting holes is in the works, addressing some design improvements that could be made.
If you print this, please post a make! It helps me gauge community engagement and know what I need to do better. Your feedback is incredibly helpful to me!

Resolution:
.15mm is more than enough to preserve the details.
Infill:
I did 25% infill as a test print, and I'm still using the same skid after several months. You could probably do 40% to make it bulletproof.
