Found out a few things.

Found out lug wall thickness should be 1.2mm.

Found out [MENTION=175208]gaucho777[/MENTION] has an excellent eye. I thought for sure the thickness at the ridge was 2mm but in reality it was 3mm.

Found out 3D stainless printing for just 1 of each of the 3 lugs is $5000. Yikes.

So I am currently obtaining quotes for investment casting. I changed the wall thickness from 1mm to 1.2mm. And the ridge height is now 2mm, 0.8mm taller than the thickness. I also changed some proportions and added a bevel instead of straight walls for the triangular inset. I'm also too cheap and lazy to print the new refined parts. All you get are images from my modeling program.
