Ender 2 split base

Check out my Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/HotSquare 11/9/2018 Updated Per request, I've made some changes to the base: - The base is now available in 4 parts for easy printing on an Ender 2. - All joint sections have been reinforced and require adhesive or a strong bond for stability; superglue or epoxy work well. - Each section has a flat side that attaches to the build plate but will need supports throughout; I recommend at least 4 perimeters. This base works with both old and new Ender 2 revisions, and its 4mm wider than the original. It also features special mount holes for Fuginator's PSU housing. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2745006 If you're like me, you prefer to minimize extra parts around your printer. I created this base to integrate seamlessly with the Ender 2 while housing the PSU and providing stability. Being able to lift the entire unit in one piece was essential. Hutchyx's remix was a good starting point, but it was too large for the older Ender 2 revision. So, I split it into two sections, added pegs for easy gluing, reinforced the seams, included mount holes for a PSU case, and widened it to accommodate the new Ender 2 versions. Printing both parts took around 32 hours and roughly half a spool of filament; however, due to some failures, it's hard to estimate the actual amount used. The base works flawlessly without any glue; I simply relied on the PSU mount to hold the two parts together.
