I needed a reliable cap to help protect and keep the lens of the laser clean, and I'm sure there are other Snapmaker users out there that feels the same.
I optimised it to work with the Snapmaker 3D app:
Fast print - will work just as well as the high quality print and takes about 20min to print.
Normal Quality - didn't bother to use this one myself...but you are welcome to try.
High Quality - takes about 45min to print.
If you print the model as is, then you don't need any supports - however, if you flip it over to get a better finish on the top where the logo is, you will definitely need to print supports.
I recommend you use a brim to help secure it to the bed (not a raft), and that you print it as is (upside-down) - the supports is rather difficult to get out of the center because of the countersunk design.

I added the reinforced model alongside the older one (as promised) - it firms up the legs a bit and helps it to grip a bit tighter.

Walls are too thin. Mine crumbled when I tried to free them (had printed two) from the raft. Took 2h to print with Normal settings, PLA, Snapmaker V1.
