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.

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!
