I did the covers in PLA, because it is a little stiffer than ABS. I was concerned that the "softness" of ABS might wear down the latch nubs quicker if the cover is taken off/on a lot. Of course if that happens, then another one could be made easily (except for those without a printer).
JamesZ brought up a point I forgot when uploading the files. That being that the program I designed it with (AutoCAD 2006) saves its files in "units", and programs that read these files may interpret incorrectly. Apparently most slicers interpret "units" to be mm (their default). My slicer has a button to convert "mm to inch", which I use after loading the file. So if your slicer defaults to mm, you will need to scale up the object by 25.4, or select "inch" after loading. The correct dimensions are 3.060" x 2.270" excluding projections. Of course your finished dimensions may vary a little, so some fitting may be required. This is my first Thingiverse project, so I am still learning.
