Print Cover flat on front face
Print Wall Plate on angle with back corner and edge of front plate
This allows printing without any supports.

You can also print the wall plate flat on its back, using supports for the overhanging plate. This may be easier for your printer to achieve, but will take more space, time, and filament.

Attach Qty 4- 8mm long 2.5mm standoffs to top of POE Hat. (Do not use the standoffs included with the POE hat
Remove Qty 4- 4mm long 2.5mm standoffs from the bottom of the POE hat and replace them with 2.5mm screws. (It is helpful to remove then replace 1 or 2 at a time, rather than removing all 4 and having to line everything up again to put the screws in)
Use the 4mm standoffs you just removed to attach the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to the top of the POE Hat.
