Ultimaker 2 Breathable Electronics Enclosure

I sought a enclosure for the UM2 that would grant its electronics more room to breathe. Initially, I struggled to achieve this. I attempted to place all of the holes on the bottom face within the part model, but those numerous perimeters hindered the printing process. To resolve this issue, I modified the design by making the bottom side of the enclosure solid in the model. Next, I adjusted the settings in my slicer software (S3D). I set both the top and bottom layer counts to zero and increased the number of shells to 10. Although it didn't yield a perfect result, this approach significantly improved upon my previous attempts.
