Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Case

Description
hi there!
This is a case i designed for my own use for my pocket operator but figured others might have a good time using it too!
Requires:
2x M3x4x5 brass heated inserts - link
2x M3x5mm bolts - link
Print settings:
I used a 0.2mm nozzle since i have one and thought it would be useful for the small holes in the model (but would love to hear how others print with 0.4mm)
0.1mm high quality print settings on bambu slicer
PLA basic. Smooth PEI plate.
Tree supports required - will have to scrape it off on the button plate underside - but i had no issues using the bambu-labs included scraper. For the buttons i used a craft knife to just wedge out the supports - but they kind of popped out on their own mostly.
Please see the instructions in the files in order to assemble, i went through quite a lot of iterations and prototypes so everything should fit well if you use the print file i uploaded.
