I think I now have something I'm happy with, that is, structurally. I cut the shell in two parts that I think will print well. I started printing the bottom part, which was printing overnight and is still going. I turned off supports so now I'm praying the upper left side does not get too messed up.

The holes on the back face are for mounting the keyboard support and and the top part. Speaking of which:

I mostly going for looks with this project, and aesthetically I'm too far from what I wanted. I think I said in a previous log that I would like to add lots of detail to the surface, and since I'm running against time here, my idea was to transfer the details to panels which I will attach to the main body.

That way I can make quick prototypes and tweak the design without printing everything out again. Next log I will tell how the printing went, there's still a few good hours till it's finished.
