Cuts anodized aluminum CNC cases. $200 with shipping for the Corne IMK case clone (I don't have design files for anything). Cheaper in bulks (e.g. $800 for 10 orders). Also cuts acrylic, steel, makes injection molding (ask for a quote at info@bestcreating.com).
Used for custom Corne cases by @bizunov. Costed about $200 total. Files are unavailable so you'd have to make the case first.
You can also contact foggy from geekhack he runs CNC miling joint prices could be even better.
Makes aluminum anodized CNC, see Ergonaut One model:
It's claimed that it is several times cheaper and better quality than Bestcreating.

New! https://www.reddit.com/r/crkbd/comments/1hgyegr/corne_v3_with_aluminium_case_from_jlccnc/
- Design is available: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4283322
The cost was $139.95 without shipping.
Order details:
Expensive high quality stuff. Untested. Example keyboard: https://t.me/laversa_kbd/599
Makes CNC now. Untested.
Kind of last resort, because it's never a consumer quality (it's not really a prototyping quality either).
I've forked the tilted case for Crkbd. You may download beta version here (uploaded 2020-12-23):

BTW the thingiverse site is terrible. I heard the site is written in lua. there were some lua error messages. A bit unusual. also heavy caching. I can see updated page as anonymous but not as logged in. Hope they redesign the site soon. You can try https://www.printables.com by Josef Prusa, it's much better but doesn't have much stuff.

I have added the slot for the extra key for Jorne Keyboard from model designed by Coumbaya. Also the tilted version...
There are also good Corne cases that you can use if you break off extra keys, namely:

The Kunai - Corne Case, Ergonomic Corne case designed to work with acrylic and FR4 Cornes plates by mell0w.

- the-kunai-corne-case-model_files.zip (STL files)
There's an also an open source attempt to fix the (severely broken) Kunai:
- https://makerworld.com/en/models/212790 (2024-02-19)
The original model is a great design, thank you for mell0w's design sharing. However, there are many broken surfaces. Some of the broken surfaces, especially the large gap at the top, have been repaired based on the original model.
Chinese case
There's a Kunai-shaped closed source case sold by Xianyu (Taobao second hand market) user @wellxx. If you know where to get a model of that case, let me know. I'm not quite sure what case was first this one or Kunai, because these posts are more recent than the Kunai publishing date.

Nusumu is a new case, made from scratch, with Kunai used as an inspiration. The model is free and the shape and the topology is better than Kunai.

If you break extra keys off you get 100% original Corne, then it can use Corne cases from these manufacturers:
- https://keyhive.xyz/corne
- https://shop.beekeeb.com/product-category/case-plate
- https://www.littlekeyboards.com/collections/corne-cases
It's also fully firmware-compatible with the original Crkbd (the extra key is on the thumb row so it doesn't change the matrix).
You can buy glass screen protectors separately on Keyhive (there are LOTS of them!):
Also I'd like to endorse a few very nice 3d-printed keyboards that use wireless controllers and ZMK, namely:
- https://github.com/Bastardkb/TBK-Mini (wireless: https://redd.it/mkibr1), PCBs are NOT opensouce https://bastardkb.com
- https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl (there's a tenting base in the V2-tenting-base branch)
