What an excellent idea! It has completely flat sides, so no problems there.
What sort of resolution do you want? (I think I can go up to 1200x1200 dpi
without crashing the computer)
Regarding the underside structure, the sides are completely vertical, so I think
it should be fairly easy to convert them from the flat version (you can just
"lift" one end a bit till the subpart generally fits the curve).
The sections ought to be short enough for that trick, but I haven't checked it
out.
But it would probably still be a good idea if someone can take a picture of the
underside, there's some complex modifications around the attachment points for
the pillars/stanchions.
