You should print the bracket with this side "down". The point of this +chamfer is to counteract the usual "spreading" of plastic on the first layer +of a print. On a Lulzbot TAZ printer, this chamfer causes the resulting +printed part to have a nearly perfect corner, which means it's ready to use +right off the printer without any sanding or scraping to fit required! + ## Artifacts ## * [FreeCAD design file](TeleBT_Mount.fcstd) -- 2.39.5
