I designed this as a beer tap lever, then added the base as a separate stand, but the thread is 3/8th for a beer tap.
The 3MF is included as there's some complex elements to slicing to ensure strength is in the right places. This was designed as a functional part, so the infill percentages are really high, but if its just for decoration, you can reduce this substantially to suit.
I printed it in PLA, but bear in mind that if you do have high infill, it may contract on cooling and warp, so keep the bed temp high (60+) and close all doors/vents on your enclosure and reduce the aux fan to around 30%. If using PETG, you won't have these issues as it won't contract as much when it cools.
Tolerances on threaded parts can be tricky, I always use a heat gun to heat the threads for about 5-10s then assemble slowly. Forward half a turn, back a quarter etc.
### Slicing recommendations
- Use supplied 3MF
### Extra Parts
- Expoxy adhesive
