I know next to nothing about 3D printing, but what would you estimate the case cost to produce?
It depends on the filament you use and how much you pay for it.
I used green PETG and blue PLA. For the PETG I paid €36,- per kg and for the PLA I paid €20,- per kg. That makes about €6.10 for the green parts and about €0.50 for the blue parts. A few cents will be added for the knobs.
So if you use cheap PLA for all parts, it should be around €4,- to €5,- for the plastic. I never calculated energy cost, but should be less than €0.50.
