Love the design. Printed well on my Prusa i3 Pro X. Printed with RigidInk transparent PETG.
Only issue I had was when using this with the "Tesla Bubbler" is it caused a big restriction. Air is pulled through 3 tubes from one tube the same size.
I also scaled this to 75%.

Determining whether to use supports it not is really dependant on material
type, layer height, infill%, and perimeter count. Thicker layers with more
printers generally won't need as much support material. I printed this
without support using PLA, 0.25mm layers, 3 perimeters, with maybe 25%
rectilinear infill.

Try and try again! It's all about knowing your machine and material
properties.

I tried no supports on base, i didn't work very well

I was able to print this in Colorfabb PLA/PHA without supports anywhere,
and the material is basically the same as PLA, so any material should be
fine, just use at least 3 perimeters and you'll likely be fine.
