Check the first post in the thread, there's a link to the original .stl files. You'll need to print the container and handle twice.

I'd give advice on some settings, but since I have no idea what kind of printer or material (I did ABS on a MakerFarm Prusa i3v), my settings likely wouldn't work.

I will say this, the original is microscopic, so you'll at the very least need to upsize it to 2.5x the size. Mine is about 100x the size of the original file.

Also, make sure the pin is smaller than the holes it needs to go into. And the container part is the only one that needs support when printing.

There are other versions of the Matrix on Thingiverse, but this one was the only one on short notice that was split into separate pieces and that could open.

Best of luck. And have fun.
