So, for a practice I decided to make a case for the ping sensors in the store. this meant I needed to make a model of it to make the case. Here's the model I made(STL):
\PingSensorSTL.stl
Will post progress of case on this thread.
PingcasebottomSTL.stl
Going to do top tomorrow.
Pingcase.stl
If anyone wants to test it feel free and tell me how it works!

@bborasteri- Those are some pretty files. I'm not trying to discredit your work by any means but, I guess you kind of stolen Tech's thunder a bit. I understand your intention was purely to share relevant info, it's just that TechnoPro is still a youngster (to me) and I want his enthusiasm high and positive so he keeps up on the hobby and I can invest in him in the future. I think he's going to go places.
@bborastero, I've been using AutoCAD and other Autodesk products professionally for around 15 years now, I've tried out most of the 3D cad software (with the exception of solidwork as I can't get a decent trial version) and personally I use 123d regularly over the software which I have paid over £2,000 for due to it's simplicity and ease of use. I have tried sketchup and couldn't get on with it. Point being, you may find sketchup easier but it isn't the case for everyone
The small hole I mentioned was probably due to the way it was drawn and (and I will do a quick video when I get the chance) the way I use 123D would avoid that happening, it's also a very simple method, although I wont claim it's the best as I don't know.
But as I said before, everyone has different methods and I am sure Cory, Ant, bborastero, Antron etc. all do things a different way and differently to how I do things. It's finding what works best for you really.
Could I suggest the male part of the clip'n'play adaptor incorporated on the back so that it could easily hang off any revolution robot?
The store should really have a male version of the clip'n'play adaptor plate (http://www.ez-robot.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?prevCat=109&productNumber=1355) so you could easily attach anything yourself
