Such a small thing, but if you print it enough times, you can make your own 3D printed roof! 😊 

I designed it to be printed vertically - the thick part on the inner side serves as a base for supports. Just orientate it at 90 degrees, add around 6 light supports, duplicate it enough times to fill the entire print bed and voila! There's no clean-up required, you can easily break them off without any cutting or sanding!

Thank you :) This went into a folder titled "Files from Uncle Nightshift"

FWIW: I've been playing with this file and getting prints right for a while and have a couple bits of feedback to add in case others read this down the line. The most successful print of this was when I printed 200 at a time. (I tried 500 and it had some challenges... not sure if it was user error or not, but going to try again to rule it out) I printed vertically with 5 small supports under each tile (the thick/"closed" end) with the tile standing upright. I made the bases of each support very large, so it created a "pool" layer of resin on the printer build plate. This meant rather than dealing with each individual tile as a separate thing, I simple "peeled" off the single base layer and it brought all the tiles with it. Once I'd removed the piece from the build plate, it went in the alcohol ...for longer than normal to really get in between the tiles as remove as much resin as possible. These cure better when they're 100000% clean. Much more important than on the busts I'd previously printed (I'm still very new at all this!) After a good IPA soak, I removed it, washed it, then IPA washed it again, then removed it, washed it in hot water, and let it dry completely, turning the pile several times. Once they were REALLY good and dry, I ran them through the UV light curer, then washed them again in warm water. After a decent time to try out, still attached to the base "pool" layer, I simply ran my finger across the tiles gently and they popped right off, no clean up needed. As they were popping off, I'd tap the base to drop them onto a paper towel. I spread them out as much as possible to dry and left them for a day, turning a couple times. They are REALLY "sticky" when trying to manage. Stuck to the side of the pickle jar, stuck to my gloved hands, stuck to my ungloved hands, stuck everywhere. And they're so light, I'm finding them all over the place hahaha. Huge thanks to @NightShift for this file and the ideas, as well as the support along the way as I get up to speed on 3D printing!!
