The two large ngons around the buttons have some distortion still. Nothing came about using the geometry data fix as mentioned back on Jan 31st. Your help is much appreciated.

@torreyjproctor could you upload your ,blend file to Googledrive or Dropbox or so and post a link here?

Or at least post one or more Screenshots.

Hi spikeyxxx, I edited my previous post and added a screenshot and the link to the .blend via Google Drive.

Thanks @torreyjproctor for the file.

I must admit, that I don’t know (at least not yet), what causes this, but if you follow these 4 steps (again, I don’t know why this works), it should look good:

Change your Autosmooth Angle from 30° to 15°.

Add Custom Split Normals Data.

Clear Custom Split Normals Data.

Change your Autosmooth Angle back to 30°.

I tested this several times and in different Blender Versions, so it should work. Please let us know if that solves it.
