My entry for 3D Printing Nerd's #3DPNSpeakerCover contest. It would be great if you could go and post a like over there: https://thangs.com/matthewlegates/3D-Printing-Nerd-Speaker-Cage-v3stl-13270I really liked the "high five" hands, so I modeled my own from scratch. I chose to make it so the hands were suspended by tulle fabric, with a similar process to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjH5KGw3PswPrinted with a  0.2mm layer height. I used PrusaSlicer to initiate a pause after the third layer was complete. You should set the pause to the fourth layer in the slicer, so that it stops after the third is done (see slicer photo). Once it's done, you'll need to cut the tulle from the outside perimeter (maybe run a lighter around the outside to clean it up) and remove some material from the holes (it's there so that the holes can print cleanly without support).
