The box turned out amazing! Thank you so much for the BoM, it made the project so much more achievable!
Small changes I did from the original:
Used a 2170 cell and a TP-4056 based BMS/Charger.
Added a USB-C plug on the bottom to enable charging without opening up the case
I printed the body on an angle primarily for the rainbow effect but it had the added benefit of not requiring the M3 square nuts (which I couldn't source in time for the gift) as the screws just threaded onto the plastic. It was surprisingly secure since there's nothing to grab onto the back cover its difficult for it to fall off in the first place.

@esteanes_1920955 Oooooh very nice! Also good idea for adding a USB-C port for charging, it's probably my only regret with the design as having to take the cover off just to charge the battery is a pain.

What is hiding under the kittens? What is the method of re-charging?

@BigDipper I use a FW modded Turnigy Accucell-6 to charge a LiFePO4 battery, but you are free to use what you want as long as it's compatible with the battery type you want to charge.
