Cable and Test Lead Rack (Rotated)

I'm not claiming credit for creating this version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1792488 - it's simply a reworked take on the original design. If you have any suggestions or tips for the talented author behind this model, please don't hesitate to share them. When I attempted to print this rack, I had to perform a significant rotation to achieve the desired result, which wasn't trivial in Cura 2.7. After some trial and error, I was able to find the perfect rotation angle that worked for me. Initially, I printed the rack with the screw-plate facing downwards on my printbed, but this led to issues with the fingers breaking off at the layer junctions. The second photo showcases this problem clearly. To overcome this issue, I decided to rotate the Test Lead rack, positioning the fingers flat on the printbed instead. This change in orientation helped secure the fingers to the back-plate of the wire rack, making it much more stable and functional. The photo of the rotated part shows it freshly removed from the printbed, still attached with a Brim that hasn't been removed yet. **Important Note:** Since the rotated rack is printed at an angle, including the back plate, it would be ideal to use 0.1mm layers for a smooth finish. However, I prioritized functionality over aesthetics and used a 0.2mm layer height, resulting in some noticeable ridges on the print.
