How do you make the lid?

I found printing one of these along with another one 1.08 x bigger made two halves that fitted together nicely.

What material did you use? I've been wondering what the see-thru material is. Thanks!

Hey Elspeth,

Yeah, they look even better in real life. The top of the case is almost completely translucent. I've added the details of my setup to the description above.

Thanks
