This is a set of plug followers based on the [Pro-Lok follower set](https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Lok-4-Piece-Follower-Set/dp/B073H56MZL)
The Pro-Lock follower diameters are:
follower 1 = 0.395" (10.03mm)
follower 2 = 0.495" (12.57mm)
follower 3 = 0.505" (12.82mm)
follower 4 = 0.554" (14.07mm)
Print them vertically. I STRONGLY suggest doing some short test prints to check the final diameter. Just sink the follower into the bed and print a test piece about ~10mm high and measure the diameter. Scale in X/Y as needed. If you have [calibrated your extruder](https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/extrusion-multiplier-calibration_2257/) your results should be very close to the target diameter. A little undersized is ok, oversized is not.
Tall skinny parts can be a challenge for bed adhesion. If necessary print with a brim. The bottom has a small chamfer to help combat elephant's foot but you may need to file the end a bit after printing.
