I ideally wanted a quick and easy cover for the mainboard, but all the cases seemed like overkill and took too long to print (10 hrs anyone!?).
When I saw thankHUWverymuch's original model and ingenious spiral button (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2078881), I thought it would be great to incorporate it into a simple flat cover. I also took inspiration from Lee-R's cover (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2013479), but didn't use the model or his measurements.
It fits with about 23mm clearance under the cover to the board, plenty for airflow but not enough to hide all the wires comfortably and safely. I just tied mine to the side in a little bundle (see pic).
Future updates could include more clearance and a side extension to secure and hide the extra wires.
