If you can let me know where, type and size of the holes you need in the panel, I'll build a printable (.stl) file for you that matches.? If you'll respond with something like:

round hole, d1 mm diameter, center at x, y
rectangular hole x1 mm long by y1 mm high at x, y (lower left corner of hole)

Repeat the above for as many holes as you need, remember all dimensions are in millimeters (if you want to use inches, just let me know and I'll convert).? All measurements will be taken from the lower left corner of the panel.

I have had OpenScad on my computer since I built my 3D printer 3 years ago (it was part of the software download package for the printer), and I never could make heads or tails of it. It's not very "user friendly", in my opinion.

There is a piece of software called OpenScad that is free.? With it, you can import a .STL file (which is what is usually provided on Thingiverse), you can then 'subtract' cylinders (to make round holes) and cubes (to make rectangular holes).? Then from that produce a new .STL file, run it through your favorite slicer program, then print it.

Out of curiosity, does anyone on this group play around with CAD software? I found a 3D printable box on Thingiverse ( ) that was sized for the Bitx40 board, but it has plain, un-drilled front and back panels. Maybe someone here who knows how to use CAD software could design a 3D printable enclosure that has a panel that has openings to accommodate the Raduino display, antenna connector, and other controls/jacks? I'd do it, but I don't know how to use CAD software...
