So the print turned out eh... not 100%. It's possible to use it but it needs some work to get the finish were I want it. However it's important to know that a 3D printed part will never be perfect, it's not cast or thermoformed. But this print didn't live up to my requirements. Considering the size of the duct one option is to apply a layer of epoxy resin on the backside of the duct to reinforce it more, shouldn't be needed but it can applied free of charge. If anyone wants it.

And about that base plate/heat bed that isn't straight, we've ordered a new CNC milled base plate from Germany that is thicker and guaranteed 100% straight. That will help a ton as well. I'll keep you posted.
