[Coco] Case for the Glenside IDE board

[Pere]

Hi Steven,
you just need to upload the *.stl files...
There must be three of these. Two big ones for the
case and one smaller for the support (feet)
If you click on start a 3D print you will be asked to upload
the files (three) ... you could simply drag these files to the
rectangle for them.
Then I chose the plastic on the left, something like PLA
and chose grey color 150 microns (the colour you'd like)
Finally you will have to choose a 'printing Hub'.
I was lucky enough to find one local, here in Barcelona,
so I could pick up the case right from the 'printer'

cheers
pere

Do I send all those files in for printing, or just a subset?  Not clear 
what they represent nor what the options might be.
I'm having particular difficulty parsing this:

Print without support. Print bottom half with bottom surface against build 
platform, and print top half with top surface against build platform.
I've added an optional end support for this very long cartridge.

Print without support?  As opposed to.. what?  But there's an optional 
support as well?  If I print with support do I need the optional one?  Or, 
is the word support being overloaded.  I'm assuming that I can have this 
printed by Thingiverse.  Is there a major difference in price between 
doing that and finding some other fab house?
Don't mean to be dense, but I know zero, zilch, nada about 3d printing and 
simply would like to avail myself of a case.
Thanks for any help getting a clear mental picture.
Steve
