This is an angled face plate design for the ubitx v6 radio with 4.3 inch Nextion touchscreen. This requires the corners of the case be cut and drilled. I have supplied a cut and drill template for printing. I suggest you cut your case a little oversized and file to get a perfect fit.
Search online for instructions for loading the correct firmware on both the screen and the radio.
I used the nextion 4.3 inch screen found here:

This screen requires another 5v regulator. The original one running the arduino does not provide enough current for everything. I also suggest mounting that regulator (possible 7805) to the case to use the case as a heat sink.
You will also need some short m3 screws to mount the screen.
I printed the face plate from PLA standing up in the normal position with supports enabled. Feel free to experiement with your printer to see what works best for you.
