<b>UPDATE v.4.9 | 28/01/2021</b>
Added the 3 following files which have slightly wider body (0.25mm) than 4.7 version and small upgrade on the tip.
<b>1.</b> "4.9.nf.supported" (extension) comes "with supports" for the ones are not very familiar with. But I still prefer S3D's supports.
<b>2.</b> "4.9.nf" (extension) with "no fillet", to make it easier printing with supports.
<b>3.</b> "4.9" (extension) with fillet, for "smooth edges". On FDM printers isn't that much noticeable.

Added another version with "no fillet" (".nf" extension), actually it has sharp edges to make it easier printing with supports.

<b>Printing</b>
Suggested printing orientation is the one as the files are stored, why?
Printing the tab from the base to the tip in X-Y axis makes it stronger and more flexible since its printed in one continued string.
If you change the orientation with the tip on top then tab's base will start from the bottom and builds up while the Z axis is sticking the rest of it till the tip. With this orientation the tab has more possibilities to brake since Z layers don't bond the same as the method I suggested.
