OpenSCAD Customizer Options
---------------------------

We recommend you use [OpenSCAD](https://www.openscad.org/) to customize this design.

This design has the following Customizer options:

• `Diameter` - Diameter at widest point
• `Sides` - Number of sides

• `Bottom_Height` - Uncut height of bottom section
• `Bottom_Cutoff_Percent` - Percentage to cut from bottom section

• `Middle_Height` - Height of middle section

• `Top_Height` - Uncut height of top section
• `Top_Cutoff_Percent` - Percentage to cut from top section

• `Orientation` - Rotate onto face for easier printing

• `Show_Uncut_Ends` - Show uncut ends in preview mode

Design Considerations
---------------------

In many cases, it should be possible to print designs without supports. For the best results, consider the angle of overhangs and use the `Orientation` option.

Material
--------

This design is perfect for printing in most filaments, but we recommend translucent filaments/resins in particular for this design.
