Experience with custom 3D-printed Raspberry Pi cases?

I want a custom Raspberry Pi case. I found this open-source case design: https://github.com/marceloeatworld/OpenPiCase Has anyone used a service or printed open-source designs themselves? Any tips for modifying designs for Pi 4 or Pi 5?

I have a 3D printer and lots of Raspberry Pi modules, but I don't print cases for them. I am worried that the heat from the Pi will cause the printed case to sag. I use metal cases for Raspberry Pi modules…

I use metal cases for Raspberry Pi modules. If you want to use printed cases I would suggest using higher temperature plastic or at least a design that incorporates a good fan solution . There are lots of good looking case designs available on the net, and lots of places that will provide 3D printing services.

Sir, which metal cases do you use? Do you customize them or buy directly from The Pi Hut?
