Sounds like a big deal. I think adapting a 3d case design to the PCB
shape should be easier (and then the case would also be useful for
GTA02 boards).
But just adapting the existing case so that it can be 3D printed
would already be great. I think the problem for 3D printing does
not come from the shape of the PCB, but from the requirements of
being small and usable as a phone.

I was labouring under the impression that producing a case for the
motherboard using a 3D printer was impractical due to the tolerances
required; 3D printers aren't capable of creating walls thin enough.
However, looking at the manual and inspecting older emails it seems as
though that problem is limited to replicating the existing GTA01/02
case. There seems to be no reason a GTA04 board cannot be mounted in a
3D-printed case of a different design.
So, break out the repraps :-)
