I have seen several different lego enclosures. I'm sure if you googled it, you could see some and get some inspiration!!! There is no need to file down any edges, they are not sharp enough to hurt a gecko. Also if you came up with a design you wanted to keep you could always glue it together for any stability issues. Good luck and definately post some pics when you are done!!
