An Arduino Case

A friend is working on an Arduino based project and wanted a case for the Arduino Uno and an LCD shield. He pointed me at this case:

A couple of printing sessions later (it took about an hour for the top and bottom halves, and 20mins or so for six buttons) and we have a case for the electronics:







As cases go it is nice to hold as it is curved, and fits together pretty well with the clips holding the top to the bottom. I'd prefer the case was screwed together, but there's no provision for that. the butons will need trimming I think, but after that it should work pretty well.
I used natural PLA (faberdashery) and that is transparent-ish and so all the Arduino LEDs shine through the case, giving a colourful effect.
