My daily driver at home and at work is a Filco MJ Minila and Minila Air. I love them to bits, but I've never really felt like I could swap out any of the caps for anything more interesting because the existing case doesn't really lend itself to different expression.
If I were able to transplant the whole thing into a very slightly less bulky and sleeker and sturdier feeling metal case, I think I would do some great stuff with the caps.
I can't for the life of me find anything suitable though. I explicitly don't want to swap out plastic for plastic on the case. Milled metal.
Does such a thing exist anywhere to just buy, or are there any 3D plans anywhere that I could get a case custom milled from?
Any ideas?

rebuilding the case in 3d wouldn't be difficult, I don't think there's something ready made for the minila.

You don't happen to know if any online models by any chance? I can't see jack.matt3o wrote: ↑rebuilding the case in 3d wouldn't be difficult, I don't think there's something ready made for the minila.
