Print notes
- Print each tube as its own job. They are spaced apart in the preview so they do not touch.
- The detent is a pair of small round bumps on the inner tube that click into matching dimples in the outer tube's walls.
Remix ideas
- Add a finger notch on the rim.
- Deepen the dimples for a firmer hold.
- Add dividers inside.
