Did anyone else run into trouble when 3d printing the PenC cases? The raised corners are coming out really bad under the supports. I've tried printing without supports also but it still wasn't great. I'm thinking I might have to flatten those corners, but I would prefer to keep the original design if I can.

Everything else is turning out great, it's just the corners that are bad.

An update in case anyone finds this thread and has the same question: The problem was overhangs, my support settings weren't enough. I was able to mostly fix it by updating my settings but what I ultimately did was edit the model to make it easier to print. I expanded the flat part in the center of the lid and body by 8mm on both sides, and then adjusted the angle of the slopes to match.

I am planning to share my updated files on Thingiverse but I have some more edits planned first.
