Its even got a deluxe rod end bearing to prop its door open :(

The stereo speakers are mounted side by side (at last)  :( :(

Acquired four 3D printers in the last few weeks.
One of them is the Formlabs laser curing device with
25 micron resolution and the other 3 are fdm printers.
Driving it with openscad making boxes,
helical gears, tapered screws, jaw grips,
etc - all the things mechanical engineers take years to
to learn to design and manufacture cut short to a few
days, and built from scratch, thanks to 3D printers
and open scad scripts.

Also notice freecad 0.13 is nothing like its predecessors.
It can do operations along prescribed paths
(something which openscad lacks at the moment), and there
is a (hacked) way to do assemblies.
Wings3D is also fantastic, and meshlab takes cares of
checking the STL to get objects into printable state.

So who needs open source parametric case designed in openscad?
and 3D samples of it printed?

It should be possible to print 3 cases per day small
production runs and evolve the case design to something
respectable in weeks.
