Infill:
50%
Notes:
Use 50% ot higher infill for strength, ABS or PLA
Use high temp (PLA => 110/120°C) for better layer adhesion
Green color is mandatory ;-)
This model has two nuts included inside the print.
Pause print when it reaches the top of each nut hole, install the nut inside the hole, and unpause the print
You can also print the first layers using flexible filament to get an anti-slip top on the bench dog.
Start your print using the flexible filament, pause after a few millimeters, and switch back to PLA/ABS
Use a long screw through the two included nuts for increased strength of the bench dog, and added weight
You may need to sand the peg a bit so that it just snaps into the table's hole
