Design for 3D printing

https://blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/

A big checklist of tips. I hadn't heard of making holes tear-drop shaped before. Also:

R1.5 — Use large cross sections. Prefer thick shapes over thin shapes.

R3.7 — Keep surface area minimal. Design voluminous. Do not make cutouts in an attempt to save material.
