That looks like the sort of thing! To answer Knapps query about the 
project: The MakerSpace people round here were introducing kids to 3d 
printing by showing them how to make a badge with their name raised on 
the surface. This would only need a very simple interface and many 
similar beginners things would demand similar cut down interfaces
Cheers and thanks
