Enclosure for Running Belt Electronics

[Brendan]

Hello All,

I wanted to start a thread on my first project.

I have a running belt I built for my daughter...(and possibly for sale!) It has some electronic components that need to be in an enclosure...a PCB, GPS, Piezo buzzer, etc.

In talking with some of you today, it sounds like 3D printing an enclosure would be the best place to start.

Per Dan's recommendation, I've installed "SketchUp" and I'm starting to learn that program. I have also found a project-box on the Warehouse that looks like nearly a perfect fit...I may need to shrink the dimensions on it a bit.

I think I'll mock up the project box in foam this weekend, make sure I like the dimensions, and then try to finalize the SketchUp file.

I'll post pictures along the way!

Since I am looking at 3D printing, I wonder if anybody out there knows SketchUp enough to answer this question:

I have a picture file (I'll try to attach) It's Sgt. Major stripes...when I run with my daughter, I call her the Sgt. Major (because she's so darn tough!)

I'd like to have this on the lid of the project box, but maybe sunken in just a bit...I could then paint it, to really make it pop out.

How do I do this in SketchUp?

Thanks!

Brendan
