 I stuck the felt on the glass built plate of the 3D printer, then I remade the levelling of the bed manually to bring the nozzle as close as possible to the felt and made the zero on it, and started the print.
-During this print I tuned the fans's speed, as well as the printer's speed, and the bed's height and even the temperature to compensate the smoothness of the felt and the small irregularities on its surface because it was scratching the plastic while printing it. It started not so badly, went through some issues while printing, but I finally had a very gross but understandable representation of my design.

This print could probably be improved with a wider nozzle, higher fan speed, maybe a lower temperature.
