3D-printable base for Cafelat Robot

The Cafelat Robot is a delightful little espresso machine, though it comes with its quirks.

For me it has two, or maybe three, design quirks at the bottom that aren't easily fixed:

First, the Robot's straight legs make it difficult to fit a scale underneath - something its ancestor, the Faema Baby, handled better (though shot scales weren't common for espresso machines in that era).

Second, even when you do manage to fit a modern scale underneath, the vertical space becomes quite cramped between the group handle, cup, scale, and base.

A third notable issue is that while the Robot's round base is admirably compact, it doesn't provide any space for a shot mirror, which is another nerdy piece we enthusiasts fancy nowadays to make life more complicated.

I have created/remixed a 3D-printable alternative that attempts to address these points somewhat.
