My rugged cover finally arrived! (I was a bit stingy on the postage this time, so I had to wait longer).
It came out great, I'm wearing it on my arm right now, it's a perfect fit. BUT the holes for the watch-band are a teeny-tiny bit to small, so I had to find the smallest drill bit (I used one from my small CNC) and used my dremel to enlargen the holes by a fraction of a millimeter, but then everything fits nicely. (Lemon for scale) So it's not perfect, I cannot recommend ordering it if you don't have the tools to enlargen the holes.
Other than that it's also a little less bulky, I reduced the wall thickness down from 1.5mm to 1.0mm (had to send a confirmation to JLC3DP, because they say the margins are too small, but as I said, it came out perfectly). Also I reduced height of the cover, the upper surface is almost flush with the screen, but not completely (about 0.5mm headroom), which is enough for most accidental bumps. (I cannot save the screen from cracking when direct force is applied in any case).
I still have to sand the surface this evening to make it look nice, which will take a lot longer this time, as there are more edges and angles. I am very happy with the result so far.
@Poolitzer If you have a small drill at home, you could go ahead and order the cover as is from the STL I uploaded last time, but I will also provide an updated version with a bit larger holes in the coming days.
