I have no affiliate with Keith, from 18650'ed. He sells accessories for builds. I purchased my K-weld spot welder from him, along with the Kapton tape, and nickel strip.
Case, Empty. I purchased mine through Aliexpress. However, you may be able to find it locally. Keith, from 18650'ed, sometimes has some empty cases in stock. I suggest checking with him first.
