//! A fully parametric 3D printed case that can be customised with cutouts and additions specified by children.
//!
//! The walls can be made wavy, which possibly reduces warping when printing and looks nice, however if holes need to be made
//! in the sides you can't print a wavy bridge. Any holes need to be surrounded by a 45&deg; chamfer to make the bridges straight.
//! See the mounting points for the feet in the first example.
//!
//! It can also have printed feet on the base with the screws doubling up to hold the base on.
