Thomas there is one thing that non-3D printing people generally don't know.
The coil enclosure printed like this looks nice. But the quality of the plastic is not at a satisfactory level.
Plastic breaks down over time, "disintegrates" and becomes very unstable.
Knowing that; I printed a enclosure with thicker walls.
When filled with epoxy; then it becomes a much more reliable thing.
But it is gaining weight.
I would gladly give you a enclosure like this.
But I see you are from Switzerland.
The cost of shipping and crossing several borders would exceed the value of that coil enclosure.
On the other hand; 3D printer prices have dropped dramatically.
My printer cost 350 euros in 2018, and today I see that it costs around 185 euros at local retailers.
Logically, I would rather recommend that you buy one such "Ender 3" printer and make yourself a prints of the things that interest you.
We will easily exchange 3D (STL) files online. On the website "Thingverse" you have a good selection of coil enclosures from other hobbyists, too.
