Serious question, how were these enclosures made? Is it resin? Is it plastic? How were they shaping the plastic?

I'm pretty sure it's just injection molded plastic like the uncolored or"normal" consoles.

It might be interesting to get scans of this and try 3d printing them.

Be attentive though, that 3D-printing commonly creates "hollow" structures with just a little bit of support material. If this was transparent, it would look totally weird as a consequence. You need to make this solid on the inside.

I imagine that the technology used to make plastics like these isn't super-complicated. You just need oil, then you can form it into shape.
