Printing

Recommended to use a FDM 3D printer with PLA material. Settings to Print your Otto Quad,
20% infill
supports for the feet Only as they need to printed as they are provided
I use a RAFT to help stick to the bed, this is optional
There should be no need to rotate any parts, print as they are shown.
