Printed well - used 0.3mm layers in Overture Black PLA. Aesthetically this is just what I wanted.

Screws used:
4x M2.5 6mm for the 4 extreme corners of the screen to the case
2x M2.5 8mm for the 2 screws joining the screen case to the middle bracket part
1x M3 30mm for the screw joining the bracket to the forked base.

The M3 screw could maybe be shorter (25mm?) but I didn't have anything in that size.

I will say the nature of the screen and the shape of this case is that it is very light, so it is not very solid when you tap the screen, kind of bounces around a bit unless you hold it with your other hand. I may make an alternate base that secures solidly to something.

It would be nice if the ribbon cable connection could be made without disassembling the case, and didn't have such an extreme bend as it exits the case, I think it is creasing my cable a little, but not so much that it doesn't work.

I got the mistaken impression from the shape of the base joint that it changes angle, but the angle appears to be fixed if I put it together right... not really a problem with the model, just a heads up for anyone else that got the wrong idea.

EDIT: After using this for a week and getting used to it, I'm totally happy with it. I taped it to my desk so it wouldn't move around when you tap it. (edited)
