Nice. 
You can unsolder the capacitor and remove to case hole, as most boards don't have it.

Cool! If you would like to share the model I can print a test We are setting up a new 3D printer and we always look for things to print

It's available publicly in Onshape, but it's not quite ready to be printed - there's no clips between the halves for instance.

Oooh, can I give you stuff to print?
I was sort of designing a case[nb]Before I started drilling holes everywhere like a mad scientist[/nb], but I'm a total noob and I have no idea what's realistic regarding to 3D printing.
(like, can I make a nearly closed box with lots of details inside, how thin can a surface be before it bends over itself like a slice of cheese, etc.)

Thank you for the model Pelrun! 

@kahz: yes, in principle I should be able to print some test models. The institute bought a new 3D printer but we are in the process of setting it up before making it available to everybody. The only problem is that we still do not know the printer very well. The people tried to print very complex things (see below) and it was working but then, removing the scaffold was impossible (as expected, I would say  ). In my little experience, if you try to print something that is very complicate it will be really difficult, if not impossible, to remove the support without damaging the model. However, if it is a box and the detail you are talking about is just a collection of many vertical walls in the inner surface it should be fine.

Wow, modern art... and people pay such silly amounts for it.
