Nice work! Is that bronze?
3D printed stainless steel. Cheap and you can have the look and feel of the finished product. After getting all the measurements right I’ll then move to CNC.

Sharp edges aren’t easy. But apart from that it’s really nice to work with. Already saw a brand using 3D printed cases.

It’s the second time I use this and so far no issues.

Never thought on doing that. You have some minimal requirements like printing area, suspended walls height and width. I can check if someone send me 3D file. Maybe @Emilio ?

Could you send me the 3D file to see the model tolerances and possible issues? Just PM if it’s OK to you.
