I designed this to add a degree of impact protection to my Langmuir Systems XR Plasma Torch Table wireless controller. I used Prusament filament (galaxy black) which I highly recommend. For higher temp stability, try an ASA filament, or ABS. I would not use PETG as the panel piece is bonded to the bezel piece and PETG does not bond well (that I know of).

The housing is designed to accept 4-40 brass threaded inserts. I heat-inserted these using my soldering iron. These inserts can be bought at Amazon or McMaster-Carr, etc.

https://www.amazon.com/Z-LOK-Threaded-Insert-Plastic/dp/B08QJHXR7P/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2IKKVT3KZ7V6O&keywords=4-40+threaded+insert&qid=1673661423&sprefix=4-40+threaded+insert%2Caps%2C933&sr=8-5

The thin control panel piece was made separate so that it could be superglued or solvent bonded in place with either the smooth bed-side up or down, your choice. I wanted the rougher matte finish of the as-printed side of the panel. Some may prefer the shinier bed-side of the panel. Some may get adventurous and print this on a Prusa textured sheet for a nifty textured panel. You could also combine it into the bezel piece and make a one piece cover. I have included .step files for those with CAD experience. PLA, ABS and ASA will all super glue and you could use solvent with ASA or ABS.

I added a bumper to wrap the enclosure. I am going to print this in TPU, but I have not yet tried, so proceed at your on risk!!

Good luck!
