I bought a sammichFM kit without the case (the reason was I did not like how the laser cut box was looking). I installed my machine in a Teko box, making it even uglier The poor machine was forgotten a few years in a cupboard, and thanks to the lockdown in France, I found it a few weeks ago, covered in dust.
As the original case made by Wilba has disappeared from the Web a long, long time ago, I decided to make a 3D printed case for the machine. As you can see, result is not bad (and much better than this awful Teko enclosure)…
The files have been created with FreeCAD, I put the STL files here if someone wants to use them.
I found some possible enhancements (like having holes to reach the trimmer for contrast and backlight level), but I did not want to print the box a second time (more than 7 hours to print both parts).
The source file in FreeCAD format are available, just ask me if you want them.
Tinkering with this idea of adding raised text, and using Blender with some initial success. Haven’t tried to turn it back into an STL yet. Anyone have a nice clean SVG copy of the sammichFM logo?
Also, yeah, the original FreeCAD files would probably work better than trying to start with an STL, if you still have them around.

Oh this just isn’t going to work – having the raised lettering means you can’t print lying on the front face, which means you need supports *everywhere* for the sides. I’ve attached my first-stab STL (not in love with where some of the text landed, meh), but I think this idea might be a non-starter, at least with my printer.
