I made a first stab at a CoCo case design to print on my old 
Thing-O-Matic using OpenSCAD.  I wasn't trying to exactly replicate the 
Tandy cartridge housings, and I never quite finished the design, though 
I got a good start and it wouldn't take much to complete. You can see a 
screenshot of the design on my blog:

you think it would do you any good, I could share my code, but you 
probably are farther along than where I left this project.  It might 
take me a day or so before I could dig up the files.
