I design the model on Autodesk Fusion 360, starting from the fitting part, then adding the support and mounting structure. I designed the mounting hole to fit M3 screws. i also designed the support because it snap of easier than generated support, also the bottom side will look better
Pre-printing: Slicer

Use any slicer that works for your printer
in my case, I'm using a ultimaker printer, so I use cura to prepare the print file.
I designed the support for the vertical mount, so no need to select support.

The support comes right off with little effort.
