speed
You can print at a lower resolution however this insert is not seen and lower resolutions will take longer to print.

You can print at higher resolutions but the cable guide may not fit.

Infill
Infill should not matter as walls should be thick enough to result in a full model.

If not infill of 20% should be more then enough. Any infill pattern will do so choose your favourite!

Supports
You should not need any supports to have a functional print. There are some overhangs however the modified insert has removed the section of overhangs that will cause issue with the chargers fit.

If you want a print that looks perfect you could print with supports however the area this improves will not be visible in use.

If you have a printer or material that particularly struggles with overhangs I recommend using supports

Adhesion
You should not need adhesion if you have a heat bed and low warp material.

If you do not have a heated bed or are using a material prone to warping I recommend adding

Print Speed
Printing to fast will cause problems with overhangs.

As it is a quick print I recommend not pushing the speed above what you would consider medium for your printer.

Fan Speed
A higher fan speed will result in better overhangs so I recommend 100%

If you have a material that requires a lower fan speed use that.

Material Type
You should have no issue printing with any rigid non flexible material type.

You may be able to print with flexible materials however I have not tried this. It will likely improve the cable clip but the insert may not fit well due to bend with the weight and magnets of the charging dock.
