Hi Hamid,

Great work on this case!

I have a little bit of design-for-manufacturability feedback that I'll put in an Issue, since you so requested :-)

My primary suggestion is that there is not a good orientation for the lid to be printed. Specifically, if it is printed with the bottom side against the build plate, then the lip forms an overhang, and if it is printed with the top side against the build plate, then the recessed screw bosses form an overhang -- both of which are difficult to print.

I think my plan is to build a new top case that is a little more 'skeletal' that preserves the silkscreen legends, and includes the shims. Where did you get the model of the Tigard itself? Also, is it possible to export STEP files for these, rather than STLs? If so, I'll just load the STEP file into Onshape and remix it that way, rather than modeling it from scratch.

Thanks!
