Thanks Dave, I printed after adding the explicit support. I did export it before add that then using slic3r with enable support material optionQuote

The best way IMO is to try printing it and see whether it has problems. If it does, then watching it attempt to print can give you ideas about where to place support material. To avoid wasting too much plastic and time, you could make a test STL by cutting up the part in a new OpenScad file to isolate just the anticipated problem areas. I do that frequently with parts that need to be fitted together or onto other items in order to get the size of the mating places exactly right - just make sure that the test piece is printed in exactly the same orientation as you will be printing the final part.

,check in gcode.ws found out that slic3r generate too much support for the model to print. It took me 8 hours to finish the print but the molex socket frame came out
exactly the same dimension of my measurement so it will not fit my molex connector, i need to file a lot to get the molex into the frame, guess i forgot to add some clearance to leave room for the part to be fit in.
