Nice model. Love the design! 

However I had some problems with getting the corners watertight, so I've made a derivative with slightly thicker walls at the corners :) 

 Thanks for sharing! How did you do that? I once searched meshlab for that kind of function but was lost in the menus :)

This part has given me a lot of trouble, and I still haven't managed to make one that I'm happy with. The first 0.5cm of height really wants to over-print the corners, and I've had some layer adhesion/alignment issues along the sides in the same height region.

Printing with no extra perimeters helped a lot, but it's still not great.

Prusa with sprinter experimental, sliced with slic3r, 0.25 layer height, 1 perimeter, no infill, standard feedrates.

you might want to try lower feedrates. On my print the inner and outer shell aren't connected, but the edges look quite nice (and are connected). I also used slic3r, 0.2mm layer height, printed on an eMaker Huxley with Sanginololu board and standard firmware.

I may get a version online with "flat" surfaces and a constant wall thickness. Currently theres a little edge which i thougt looks quite nice.

Nice one!

Printed at 37mm/s on a thingo. 1 extra shell and no fill.

Looks 8-)

Looks great in white :-D
