damn!
if you don’t mind me asking:
how did you create the transparent casing? It looks really great and I’m not sure if it was 3D printed or some other way

Does it still count as “imadeit” if I made it using a hodge podge of other people’s parts? Haha, I ordered the custom shell from eBay ☺️ but it feels very high quality (not 3D printed)

As a 3d printer enthusiast, I object to you implying that 3d printed parts aren’t high quality, while acknowledging that you’re very correct.

agreed, sometimes it makes sense to accept that trying to do everything isn’t worth it

It also makes more sense in this context IMO
3D printing is really cool for when you need a small amount of a custom part
When you need to mass produce something, you might as well invest in equipment to make it faster and for cheaper
