The Everdrive covers are now available:

http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18326.0

I had a new batch of stuff I had printed arrive today.  Lets start with the Everdrive case:









It will need a little tweaking as some of the wording that I added to the case is just too fine for the printing method that I used.  I could print it with a much finer method but the price starts the get really high for what it is.  The Reset button does function and you can get the SD card out without removing the cover.  It also fits the Turboexpress with no problems.

Next up is the replacement Duo card door:









This one came out nice.  There are a few errors on it but I already knew about it but did not have time to send in the revised model before it was printed.  All I have to do now is try an match the gray color on the original part.

I also reprinted the Turboexpress battery door to fix an error on the first print.  It fits much better now but will need just a little more tweaking for my tastes.

Are these for sale yet or is this just a test run?

Is there access to the TG-16/PCE switch?

Yep.  I had designed in a switch cover in the case to make it a little easier to use but I ran into the detail problem with the lettering.  As is there is an opening on the side that you can access the switch

Which part?  All of them are close to being finished.  I will probably do one more test run of each part to finalize the design.  The biggest hurtle is going to be matching the gray color on the DUO door and the Turboexpress door.

I'd be up for the Everdrive cover at least and maybe the DUO door and TE battery cover.

I have a DUO-R door in my hands right now and I'm making a model of it to have printed also.  I will make the necessary changes to all the parts that I just had printed this weekend and have (hopefully) the last run of prototypes of those parts on order.

Awesome work, I might be interested in the Everdrive cover when you've finalized the work. These 3D printers are something else, it was only very recently that I saw one in action at a computer store I frequent and couldn't believe what I was seeing!
