Summary
After looking at the other cases for the Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer (Model No. 597), I decided to make my own to meet my needs.
The result is a more classic design that you can also modify to your needs. The top lid is designed to fit snug against the back of the thermal printer, and there is a generous amount of room in the back to house the electronics. I also gave some extra room underneath the printer to help reduce strain on the wiring.
Not enough room for your needs? Change the gearSpace variable at the top of the script. Need a little more space under the printer? Change the printerZ variable.
The power supply port in the back of the enclosure was designed around a 2.1mm x 5.5mm female barrel connector.
