Well, almost. I didn't give myself enough tolerance in the cutout for the speaker and it doesn't fit well. On to v1.01!

If it almost fits, can I suggest a bit of heat from a heat gun or even a hairdryer might soften it enough to allow it to fit
Sadly, almost is relative. The dimensions were off by say 1%, but over larger spans that's 1-2mm.
I am not at all opposed to taking heat and/or tools to prints to massage them vs tossing the first go and printing fresh, but that wasn't practical here :(
Bummer. Glad you had already considered it though. At one point in my 3D printing journey I would’ve gone straight back to CAD for small tolerance issues
