Be aware before you sell
Some popular case files are non-commercial and no-derivatives Creative Commons, so check before selling prints. Commodore and Amiga names and logos have owners, so leave badges off and use compatibility wording. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.
