This should be resolved now. Update 4: Three sets of these have been printed with updated tabs, and they are much stronger when using my recommended settings below. New photos have been uploaded. Update 3: After printing four copies, it was found that a high infill percentage is required to make them strong. I suggest at least 80% infill, slow down the print speed to 40mm/s, and use a .1 or .15 layer height. Otherwise, the tabs will be hollow and prone to breaking. Update 2: Please use "Lid-v2.stl" as the updated tabs are stronger. I also suggest printing at .1 or .15 layer height for added strength. Update 1: The tabs on the lid are a bit too small, making them fragile. A version 2 with better, stronger tabs will be uploaded shortly.
