      @Twitch0815 Hi, thank you !

      I don't think I can extend it to add a monitor: the largest parts my printer can print are about 22cm2... I could think of how to it with small parts only... But it would be really difficult (and the screen would be probably pretty small).

        @caver01 Thank you !

        The "move head" for player buttons is actually an accident: I had to do it because player buttons where too long to feet in the box like other ones...

        But I'm glad you like it :)

          Yeah, I read your description of that. I just liked the attitude--rather than a complete redesign/rebuild, you just worked out a solution and moved forward.

            @zippy1978 that thing is awesome. I don't have access to a 3D printer, but would you be interested in selling just the printed pieces?

              Hi @chigundo,

              Why not...
              Do you already know the colors you want ?
              And could you tell me in which country you live ?
              With that I could give you a price...

                What was your cost outside of the 3d printed parts?

                      140€ should be enough for pla (2 colors : one for top parts + one for bottom parts + lid) + printing + shipping.
                      That is about $157.

                      Colors can be anything from this selection : http://www.ldlc.com/navigation/neofil3d+pla+2.85mm/

                        @zippy1978 I'm looking into fights ticks for my next build. What would the cost be in the UK please?

                            Hi @taffdan,

                            I'm not sure to understand what you asked me...
                            Do you want to know if I can print a box for you ?
