I don't understand your math. The 1mm (the wall) was there already, so why is it being counted here? Plus, multiplying by 1 doesn't do anything? Also, the 2mm extra won't be solid plastic (they'll be solid air, since that's why we're adding the extra thickness, for the room.

If anything, the extra material for the case would be the perimeter length times the perimeter wall width times the height.

That's what they did?

Perimeter length = 2*335mm + 2*235mm

Wall height diff = 2mm

Wall width = 1mm

(2*335 + 2*235) * 2mm * 1mm = 2,280 mm^3

Ah, thanks, I think what happened was that the asterisks were turned into italics and confused me. I think the message was edited to clarify.

The post was fixed about 30 seconds after making it - due to the *s being interpreted as italics. It is a shame there isn't a preview button when composing posts.
