Nespresso PIXIE Lungo cup holder

I got tired of knocking my Pixie Lungo cup over and have coffee spilled all over my desk, so I designed this model that would prevent my Pixie from tipping over when knocked. This model not only fits the Pixie Lungo cup perfectly, but it also mimics its looks, and features a Nespresso logo. Although it is designed for the Pixie Lungo, it can be scaled down unformly for the espresso Pixie cup size. Slicing tips:Does print very well on PLANo supports necessary (not even for the logo)Arc Weld2-3 lines walls (so the angled walls are well supported by themselves)set Z Seam Alignment to “Back”3-4 bottom layers 10% infill is enough, but I like it better with a heavier base, so I made the first 8mm with 45% cubic infill (heavy!) and the rest with 10% grid infill. In Cura this can be achieved by setting the whole model to 10% grid infill and then adding a Support Blocker set for Overlaps, and applied to the base, 80 x 80 x 8 mm, placed at (0, 0, 0), and with only the infill settings adjusted to something that will make the base heavy.  Note regarding my printed model (in the photos): my printed model didn't come out as perfect as I wanted, because I had some minor warping (it was my first time working with that specific filament), which caused 2-3 layers to be misprinted. Those lines do not exist in the model. Also, the base of the cup holder is completely flat.
