I would love to print this case for my Sofle v2 keyboard. Since I don't own a 3D printer (... yet) I would like to do this by using an online printing service like PCBWay. Before I order, I do have some questions, since I have never printed anything.

What percentage of infill do you folks suggest? I was thinking 100% would be most stable.
Would PLA be a good material? I was thinking on filling and sanding it.
the project only has the parts for one side. Is there an easy way to mirror everything ?
Do you guys know a good printing service in Tokyo?
