This can be scaled up or down a small amount if required however and scaling will affect clearances that may affect the result (parts fusing or being too loose).
The design also features a circular groove in the base. This will accept and retain a common small 3mm square section rubber band so the print is far less likely to move around on the surface it is being used on.
