I'm glad that this is an active community, and the advice the other day was really helpful. Once I figured out how to make other shapes to delete/ subtract, merge, I was able to do this easier. I made this draft in Windows 3D builder, it seemed to be pretty easy to manipulate shapes. We'll see how this goes as far as printing and what not.

We'll see how printing goes and if this case actually works.

I have a few MakerBot-brand printers I can use, I'm not sure the models. One of them is slightly larger enclosed in glass, and I'm told it's temperature controlled, the others are smaller, and they are open. I know the only filament I'm allowed to use with these ones is PLA.
