is there a way to make the case more elegant, like the whole case is at a 25 degree pie slant.. or something like how a filco is slanted
The top layer layer and the middle layer could be flat while the bottom layer is wedged?

Lasercutter can only cut straight down, 90-degree angle to the cutting bed.  I am sure it is possible to do what you suggested.  I had thought a lot about that before I moved to version 1.5.  That's a different puzzle that I might solve some other time.

LOL!  Thanks.  I can tell you sex is better.  :smile:

As for group buy, I don't have much to say at this point.  Will add more later.
