As I was having troubles printing these PrintABlok connectors separately as they were detaching from my bed during printing. I looked for solutions. I found Doag’s cluster(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4198908/files), which worked for me, but the 3×3 grid was not enough for me, so I went to Tinkercad and I made my grids.
I slice the files with Cura and I use “Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion” with a value of -0.15 mm, in order to avoid “elephant foot”.
This design has two advantages: I can print the connectors without any problem and I can keep them organized (in sets) until I need to use them, when I cut them off with the cutter provided with the printer.
