Hello fellow PINEfriends,
I have FreeCAD'ed up a little replacement top plate for the "Model A" acrylic open enclosure that you can 3D print at home.

It features a cutout for the PCIe slot, as well as mounting holes for a 40mm fan.
This obviously also works with the Quartz64, which has its PCIe slot in the same location.
You can download the files directly from the wiki, it's licensed as CC-BY 4.0 (meaning you are allowed to sell 3d prints of these!) and includes a STEP and STL file.
I've printed it from PETG using a 0.6mm nozzle. I gotta admit, the design is a little thinner than I'd have liked, but I'm not printing a 3rd revision for myself, so I'll leave playing with the thickness up to you.
It's still rigid enough for my purposes, since the bottom plate provides enough structural integrity on its own. You can grab an experimental 1mm thicker STL from here but I haven't tested that one yet.
In the future, an official acrylic case with the PCIe slot cutout would be nice to see.
