For "my" 3D Printed segments, I added tabs under the edges to fit Savage's slot a bit. I was worried about vertical alignment during assembly. Additionally, I added a foot to fit on the inside of the flat ring. My first prints had several problems with the layers slipping, so I added a temporary support (and the foot helps too). After that they printed great.
There are a few imperfections from the printer/print drivers (little bumps) - but they aren't really a big issue. The original part was a cast fan rotor and probably wouldn't be perfect, so I think it'll add to the weathering effect. I don't plan to do much cleaning before finishing.
Note that, as you know from my earlier posts, there was a scaling error on the original PDF export. That means my top ring is a bit bigger than it should be, so I may have to adjust the position of the foot to fit as I used the wrong measurement to place it here.
