Case for 7 inch LCD Display V2

This updated version of my previous case for UCTRONICS 7 Inch IPS Touch Screen for Raspberry Pi 4, 1024×600 Capacitive HDMI LCD Touchscreen Monitor Portable Display for Raspberry Pi 4 B, 3 B+. This updated case has a reinforcing rib on the stand where the slider cutout is and is redesigned to work with heat-set inserts for M3 screws. After getting a lot of good use out of my previous version I noticed that some of the screws were falling out. This sent me back to the refining stage and I decided to use heat-set inserts based on good experience using them at my job in 3d printed parts. I was hesitant at first but after doing some I found that it was actually really easy and was a much better solution than taping into the plastic. Plastics have a property known as stress relaxation which will mean that the threads lessen the retaining force over time. This is possibly why some of my screws fell out. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4754528
