For those of you who already download the files and print those plates i'm deeply sorry, please re-download the basic plates files for a better experience For those who may ask what's changing from early prototypes is basically better alignement between plates, more overhangs so that print needs less to no supports and rounder shape over the edges for a better look. 31/01/2021: Introducing 2 basic Plates with 2 variation, those are the Double C Plate and Double L Plate, those plates aren't really stand alone, they exist to connect visually plate with each other especialy L Plates. 01/02/2021: Introducing a fourth part to the three part ENDLESS, it's the finisher, it's totally optionnal but the finisher will improve the look of ENDLESS when you look from sides. Also i updated the connector to add small design improvement. 01/02/2021: Can a modular shelf be even more modular ? Of course it can !

At least the most important part is the visible part. Also I strongly recommend to use a brim so that 8 circles connectors won’t fall during printing.</p><p>The connector need at least 4 small support, please take the 3mf file of the connector, the supports are already pre-charged.</p><p>All Advanced Plates needs supports</p><p>I strongly recommend to print 0.15 or lower layer height for the connector and main module</p><p>Prusa Plate MMU2S Color used :</p><ul><li>Prusament PETG Signal White</li><li>Prusament PETG Orange</li><li>Prusament PETG Jet Black</li></ul>
