* 9/5/20 update: Success w/functional test of full-sized print! Released design out of "work in progress" status.
* 9/5/20 update: Did a first-time full print of the design and found that laying down on the printbed it is extremely difficult to hold the circular cross-section of the design, as gravity will inevitably cause it to flatten under its own weight. While this may be different for different setups or FDM media, it takes very little deformation to use up all of the clearances built into the design, even for prints which may appear visually fine.
My conclusion is that this design benefits greatly by printing it standing up. So I added an updated design which brings down the height of the tool by 0.2", lowering its maximum working depth form 7.8" down to 7.6".
The older design was sized to just fit my Sapphire Pro's printbed when laying on its side and oriented along its diagonal. This new shorter design now just fits the maximum Z-height of my printer.
