Perfect, the buttons match the layout of my mod. So just to clarify in case I have misunderstood, you can 3d print one of these in a stabwood effect.. or would it just be in mono colours?

No buddy,no stabwood effect,I wish that could be possible but it isn't, there's reason why stabwood mods are so expensive, it's hard to make them.
With 3d print it's a special type of plastic that is usually mono coloured,there are some like marble effect and carbon fiber or the one that changes colours with change of temperature or glow in dark etc

Thank you for clarifying. I have had a look at some of the designs and am quite liking the look of the one here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3638316
Is this possible?
Having never attempted to do this before, do you think the design would make it more difficult to assemble than a box style enclosure?

On contrary,it it easier as it's already designed for specific board and battery's,its matter of just adding 510,contacts and board,and of course magnets,a bit of soldering and glueing and thats it

That sounds easy enough. Is the enclosure that I linked to something you would be able to print? If so how much would you want to do it?
