* Why no beveling on the top and bottom?
** None on the top so you can sit something atop it.
 
* Why isn't the bottom honeycomb wall centered relative to the front and back?
** So that it lines up with the honeycomb walls on the sides.
 
* Why aren't the placards friction-bound at the bottom?
** We want them to be able to rotate forward upon removal of the top bolt, so that you can extract/insert spools without the placard falling out.
 
* How was the height selected?
** It's as low as we can go while still presenting a meaningful obstacle to a spool. Also, at 84mm it's exactly [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IScILENqT0 420 layers] when printing a 0.20mm layer height.
