xiangfu: you have them generate the .stl files FreeCAD. launch freecad and then "import case". see also case/README
<wpwrak>
the case-making process in case/ is designed for my mill, which uses the not very common RML-1 language (and not g-code)
<wpwrak>
if you want to mill the case, you can 1) find a mill that talks RML (i.e., most made by Roland DGA should), 2) use any other mill write a generator for g-code. probably not terribly difficult, but you'd need access to such a mill to test it. 3) replace my STL->toolpath process. if you're using a mill that's already in operation, chances are that such a process has already been set up there.
<wpwrak>
if you want to print the case, then you should first subtract the transparent window from the model. then you can print the rest of the case and add a "crystal-clear" window.
<wpwrak>
you want to use translucent plastic so that the LED will shine through, even if it's outside the window. or get creative with the window :)

nice. just a pity that vga is getting difficult to use, and there's a gazillion incompatible digital formats following it
<whitequark>
that's waay too expensive for what it does

he has an "interesting" collection of support levels. if he's already setting up a full production process, why bother with selling bare PCBs ?
<wpwrak>
and yes, for not being a complete device (i.e., needs an rpi, too), it's a bit pricy
