Details
markatlnk's cover clips over the entire unit like the protective cases on classic calculators, with rounded corners and bevelled edges, and prints in PLA with no supports in roughly eight hours. Both the STL and the OpenSCAD source (V2) are hosted on zjunk.net, so wall thickness and clearances are easy to change; the STL was also shared in the Discord 3d-printing channel.
michael_mayer added a perforated grid to save material, and Comradecactus reported a perfect fit from a sub-7 h print.
