Awesome ideas ratchet, do you think you could make an oval or rectangular case that worked like a dugout, it would have storage on one side to hold one or two nano stems, then a pivoting (vented) lid that would cover the hot heating element and hold the spare stems in place. It would be extra cool to have it in matching wood entire. Here's a pic of a dugout, In case anyone has forgotten what they look like, just imagine it bigger (nano size) with the bigger side being the heating element, and smaller side stem storage. I really want this case for my solo to make it truly portable, but that's another thread.

I'm sure it's possible - though my faux wood grains would be horizontal, not vertical like that piece. Sadly, composite wood is brittle and a PITA to work with, Plastic would be a piece of cake (and the prices on my store will reflect that). Currently I'm having trouble keeping the feed going into the printer with this wood composite.
PM if you are seriously interested in a custom case like this, the design is very simple (and could be improved of course).
