Print without support, dont forget to remove the already added support on the clip in front.

Also check how well the front lip fits into the back shell, it is most likely necessary to use a file to make it fit without bulging out the outside wall! Check picture below, the lip that slots in the cutout needs to be straight and clean as it is a very tight fit! Test before you assemble everything!! 

Pay special caution when  tightening the two small screws on the front, depending on how close you soldered the oled screen on the FakeTec board the smaller or bigger will the gap be in between, DONT OVERTIGHTEN!  check if screen aligns nicely when looked from the other side, when it is aligned nicely there is no need to tighten them more!! 

Also dont forget to put a piece of tape in between the backside of the Oled Screen and the FakeTec Board.
