-Download all four parts from zynthian MINI V2 github repository.
+Print first the following parts together: top, sd card door and four leg parts by:
 * importing them to printer's slicing software
 * make copy of leg part so taht there are four of them

@@ Line 332: / Line 332: @@
 ;Legs:These are small legs that are attached (glued) to the bottom part. They are designed to be a separate part from bottom part so that bottom part can be placed to printing bed and sliced without too much additional support. There is one stl file for one leg so you will need to print four of these.
-You can either print this case yourself if you have a printer or give these 4 files to some of your friends that have it and point them to instructions here. Also you can request somebody to print this for you on [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6606399 thingiverse].

 This will print around 3:30 hours on average commodity printers these days that can easily do 250mm/s such is Elegoo's Neptune 4 or Anycubic Kobra 2.

 Then print bottom part. Lay bottom side of bottom part onto the printer bed. Use the same settings as for previous  parts. Bottom part will be printed much quicker.

 Zynthian MINI is currently at version 2. Previous version 1 was more similar to official V4 kit with only 4 buttons but it is not maintained anymore.
 To assemble zynthian MINI V2 version you will require:
 * PCB that need to be produced based on KiCad design that you can find in [https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-hw/tree/master/MINI_V2 zynthian hardware] repository.
-* Components that need to be soldered on this PCB.
+* Electronic parts needed to be soldered on the PCB.
-* 5" Screen
+* 5" Touchscreen (DSI)
 * Raspberry Pi 4 with heatsink
-* optional: zynthian MINI V2 3d printable case
