This part uses the same basic definition as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4463570, but I modified the geometry to provide more space to hold stuff. There are actually 40 cups arranged in a circular array, so I tweaked the tops of the cups to provide only the exterior outline surface. I also changed the slopes of the criss-cross decoration so it would be easier to print.
Even with this change the decoration is a challenge to print correctly. To eliminate the problem of the printer nozzle bumping in to a partially printed section I set the Z-Hop/Z-Lift parameter to 2.00 mm. This causes some extra motion of the printhead, but it happens very quickly and I don't think it affected overall print time very much.
Total print time was just over 20 hours using a print speed of 70 mm/sec and a layer height of 0.200 mm.
