This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/7pB6u12nGNm
Cover for an Aquameter A142 Saturn Bulkhead Compass.
This was printed on a FlashForge Finder using PLA. Unfortunately the Finder's bed is only 140mm x 140mm which is smaller than this model. I used the FlashPrint slicer to rotate the model 45 degrees, centered it, moved it 2mm on both the X and Y so mostly non-important edges were outside the print area, then used the cutting tool on the X and Y axes at +70mm and -70mm to trim the model to the printing area. The results are in the picture.
Supports are required. I used a brim to ensure the supports stuck, but that involved a lot of trimming with a razor afterwards, so I'd probably suggest a raft instead.
