Anyone who use 3D printers have their preferred slicer SW. I have Prusa Mk3S+ - it fantastic hobby printer.Regarding material - I recommend ABS or ASA. Those materials are UV resistance and stable in water. Also melting point is higher than other materials, means that will resist summer heat better. I have couple of application for Underwater camera used in salt water printed by ABS/ASA - works fine. When placing the parts on the plate, be careful to logically respect stiffness requirements and the fact that 3d printed parts are weaker in between the layers. I placed NAV holder components like this: [ATTACH=full]3108[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3109[/ATTACH]I used for this project 0.4mm nozzle, 100% infill, and layer 0.2mm. Current design is does not allow rotation - I was initially thinking about that, but when I checked the function and position on first PLA proto's I decided for better robustness to make the position not adjustable.</blockquote>
