      This is what I bought in Japan (heavy thick steel and works great - looks just like MikeAa's design) w/o having to build it myself. Only costs ~$78 (https://cart.sky-trak.com/products/SKYTRAK-PROTECT).

        Finished my protective box. Thanks to all who helped out with template for cutouts. Going to redo the Lexan plate because of the scratch from my hole bit when I drilled out a pilot hole for the jigsaw. Jigsaw with plexiglass Bosch blade at slow speed cut setting works best. Cutouts work perfectly and all shots register. I can now hit without the fear of damaging my new toy.

            Might be a little late, but here is the template for the face plate

              Necroing this thread here as its the first one to come up on Google when searching for skytrak stl's. I designed a few files to help move the 3d printed skytrak world forward. My case as it stands is based on davray666's design ( wish he uploaded the files for his original). I have a 3d skytrak model I will host on an stl sharing platform as well as a 3d file for davray666's lexan template. I am working out a few details before uploading the files as I just finished the case today.

              My case was printed with TPU at 31% infill so it's sturdy but also has give to protect from a wayward ball. 1/4" on all sides and a 1/4" piece of lexan. I plan to use the bottom screws to print a secondary base that will hold an alignment rod and leveling feet. The top cover may go through a revision so as to allow a level to sit on the unit itself and not be thrown off by the printed pieces alignment.

              I started this project after reading these old threads and originally planned to go with awisnia's route of metal as I have plenty of it laying around but liked the idea of a lightweight full coverage case more. I do not like skytrak's official metal cover for the price. Not to mention I usually prefer the diy route as it's more fun.
