The ZSA legs have no issuses with slipping in any tenting/tilting angle. + +## Assembly + +1. Print the left and right cases. +1. Using a soldering iron with a heat-set insert tool, press the insert in to the +6 posts on the bottom inside of the case. They should sit flush with the top of the +post. +1. One at a time, insert a hex screw into the cutout on the inner wall of the case. +Using a slodering iron with a fine tip, press on the edge of the nut until one side +slightly sinks in to the case. Move the tip to the opposite side of the nut and +continue pressing until the nut is inset slighty below the edge of the case wall. +Do not make it flush. +1. Once cooled, place your finger over the the nut. With your other hand, insert +the tenting leg and screw it in. You will need to tighten the nut sufficiently to +grip the plastic of the case. You may want to use an allen key but don't overdue it. diff --git a/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_both_halves.png b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_both_halves.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..60644a2 Binary files /dev/null and b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_both_halves.png differ diff --git a/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_left.png b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_left.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5e1c7b9 Binary files /dev/null and b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_left.png differ diff --git a/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_right.png b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_right.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d7b321d Binary files /dev/null and b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_choc_right.png differ diff --git a/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_both_halves.png b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_both_halves.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..da41e39 Binary files /dev/null and b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_both_halves.png differ diff --git a/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_left.png b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_left.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a1ad874 Binary files /dev/null and b/High Profile 5x3 Tented Case/kyria_5x3_tented_mx_left.png differ
