Bimbo that is prety impresive for first timer with CAD and printing.
How long to print?
How tough is it?

Next pizza night you will have to give a demo.

Still fine tuning but getting there, need to get a piece of glass to print on so the surface is perfectly flat.
The holders take about an hour and a half to print. The final prints aren't super strong and will eventually split along the layers if really twisted or crushed but there are a few things design wise that you can do to make the part heaps stronger like adding a radius to internal corners instead of a sharp 90.
I reckon I might organise a pizza night a few weeks after the missedathon, should also have the printer humming along by then
