I'm not sure about the RepRap, but a friend of mine has a Makerbot 
Cupcake, and I think a CoCo case would be a bit too big.  I suppose you 
could print it in sections and glue it together.  The quality is still 
not ideal.  Think DMP-105 or worse.  There are lots of gaps between the 
beads of plastic.  What my friend was doing to try to get a smooth 
surface after the build was brushing on plastic dissolved in acetone to 
fill the gaps, then lots of sanding.  It's a really cool technology, but 
it's still in its infancy.
