The controller part.

The controller part.

There's like 3 extra USB slots...
Or get a breakout board of some kind and wire the buttons.

Connecting it isn't a problem.  I'm trying to make a box for everything to go in.

Alright there are going to be exactly zero curves on my system.  

Id sugest fusion 360. Sketch up is nice for for some stuff. But i had problems using sketch up and shapeways.

What kinds of problems were you having?  
I seem to be having measurement issues with the two.
I'll measure something out to be say 13 cm, and I uploaded it, and for some reason the biggest side is about 0.34 cm.

I'm going to change to a different 3D print site though.

Who?

[the-pi-guy]

Who?

No idea yet.  This compares prices.  

3D Printing Price Check - compare 3D printing prices for FDM, SLS, DMLS, Polyjet, metals, and more from eight vendors (and counting)

I was not even quite half way done, and it was about 28$ minimum through shapeways.  

It's legitimately going to be a box....  

[the-pi-guy]

If the 3D printing stuff doesn't work out, I will legitimately just use a regular small cardboard box.  The one that the screen came in works almost perfectly.  

[the-pi-guy]

Here's my poorly executed box.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Where does the screen go?

[the-pi-guy]

Where does the screen go?

That's just the bottom half. 
Need about 3 cm for the battery, plus about 2-3 cm for the controller parts.
So it's about 6 cm tall. 

Looks really uncomfortable, but I don't think it'll be that bad.  I'm comparing it to the box the screen came in, wasn't too bad. 

[the-pi-guy]

I have mixed feelings about it.  

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I have mixed feelings about it.  

Why?

[the-pi-guy]

Why?

It just won't be very attractive.
