supported beveled edge very rough

I'm trying to print this controller box:

And this file specifically for the top part of the controller:

I tried printing it with the top facing down so that it would reduce the amount of supports needed. But when I did, the beveled edge on the front looks terrible and is very rough, similar to the orange one shown in the page linked above.

You can see with the attached photos, mine isn't much better.

I suspect it would look better if I were to flip it around in slicr and print with the top surface facing up instead of down, but that would also mean a lot of supports for the inside of the case. Is that my only option if I want it to be smoother?

I was using the defaults in slicr PE, btw. Maybe I need to tune the options for better supports?
