The OpenSCAD code

This is the OpenSCAD code that will end up in your final case .scad file:

module LidClip_substract() {
    size = 11;
    hang = 0.6;

    if(render == "case") {
        translate([0, 0, lid_model == "inner-fit" ? -headroom+4.5 : 0])
        translate([0, size/2, inner_height-1])
        rotate([90, 0, 0])
            cylinder(size, hang, hang);
    }
}

module LidClip_lid() {
    size = 10;
    r = 0.4;
    w = 0.99;

    translate([-0.2, 0, 0]) {

        if(render == "lid") {
            translate([0, 0, lid_model == "inner-fit" ? -headroom+4.5 : 0])
            translate([0, -size/2, inner_height-1]) {
                translate([-w,0, -r])
                    cube([w, size-(r*2), r*2]);

                translate([0, 0, 0])
                    rotate([90, 0, 0])
                    sphere(r);

                translate([-w, 0, 0])
                    rotate([0, 90, 0])
                    cylinder(w, r, r);

                translate([0, size-r*2, 0])
                    rotate([90, 0, 0])
                    sphere(r);

                translate([-w, size-r*2, 0])
                    rotate([0, 90, 0])
                    cylinder(w, r, r);


                rotate([-90, 0, 0])
                    cylinder(size-(r*2), r, r);
            }
        }
    }
