I have seen lots of cases for component testers with the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the front but the model that I have is different (having a screw terminal socket instead). There are advantages and disadvantages of the screw terminal over the ZIF socket which probably boils down to personal preference but I have designed a case for this model and I don't believe I have seen one for this model to date.
Print both parts with the outside face flat on the bed. I printed all 3 parts individually. Base could be printed with no supports if your printer is good at bridging but I used supports just in case. Lid does not require supports. I used a brim as the surface was quite large and did not want the edges to curl up. I was not watching my first layer and I have a slight blemish by the screw hole where some filament had got caught on the hot end whilst heating up but previous iterations had all printed fine.
Once printed you will have to remove the screws from the bottom of
