I printed it without supports and had to trim a little bit, but that's only because the curve goes a little past the semicircle, so there's a little bit that's printing with nothing to stand on.  I think if you'd put in a support just to that point -- or ended at the semicircle -- it would have been free of that.  It can print a pretty steep curve as long as it's not a negative curve.  But, as you said in the instructions, the little bit you have to trim doesn't impede form or function at all, so it's fine to leave it as is.

So here is my remix, a ground up rebuild designed specifically to lock onto the SD 3 with a nice tight fit. (may also work on an SD2)

Feedback welcome!
