Well, it got there but laid up an almost random mess for nearly 5.5 hours doing it. That totally blew cura's mind. Left out any real bridge between the roof of the base and the rising wall, and left half an ounce of loose nozzle ejecta hanging down the outside in loops, screwed up the fill at the base to plate contact. A mess not worthy of finishing so I didn't. The only thing I learned was that the base, supposedly to fit in a 35mm bearing, was about 34.9, so I added nominally .1 to both x and y scales to make that fit a bit better.
