This clever modular system comprises the two-part top case (left and right) which slide to the side of the PCB and are anchored in place by the bottom case.
Currently, there are two bottom cases: a flat one and another with 15° tenting – with the angle printed into the tenting base.
No external parts (bolts, nuts, glues, etc.) needed for assembly:
The pegs are made tight fit, so it is stuck there firm. This one is printed on 0.2mm layer height and I haven't tested it with coarser and/or smoother resolution – Metafalls_.
