Hi,
I have designed a 3D box for Shelly 1:
If you are interested, I can upload the STL-files to Thingiverse.

Got me thinking - do a NEED a 3D printer? 
any advice would be appreciated - what to avoid? what to look for? best (but cheap) technology / materials / melted vs chemical etc etc etc?

This was a big project for me 8 years ago when I've built my own 3D-Printer. There are a huge good sources about 3D-Printers but I'll post some infos about my 3D-Printer later.

Absolutely you do, something no techy minded person can do without. I have an Ender 3 Pro which is fairly basic and good value for money to which I added a BLTouch auto leveling sensor. PLA is the usual print material, it will do ABS and others as well though I have no experience of them. https://all3dp.com/2/ender-3-filament-guide-materials-you-can-3d-print/

It is a rabbit hole.

Sure, but it is out of stock.
It's available in 2 weeks. Order now and only 5 euros.
I really like it and I hope Shelly will offer more boxes like this, e.g for the Shelly RGBW2
It looks great, has a button and seems to sell well. I am sure they will add others.
BTW how are you all using the shelly devices?
With the built-in- MQTT API, which works great with Node-Red?
Or with the Tasmota firmware?
I use this, has worked marvelous! Really good devices (I have the dimmers)
Last week I've replaced 2 "old" Z-Wave devices for my blinds control by 2 Shelly 2.5 and I'm so happy. Aside Shelly 2.5 I use Shelly 1 and I'll order more in the future.
