Enclosure for Running Belt Electronics

[Brendan]

Sounds awesome! And yeah, 3D printing sounds like a good fit. The only thing I would point out is start thinking about print orientation while you're designing it so the layers aren't oriented in a way that weakens the part. Much like wood grain, it'll split fairly easily along the layers.

I think what you're looking for is a subtraction: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/1004126
Create the Sgt Major stripes, then subtract them from the housing surface.

Thanks ABearden for the advice! I'm going to dig out some foam and mock up an enclosure...from there, I'll have the dimensions I'll need to modify the project box file to fit.

I'll also try that subtraction feature...I think that would be a nice added bonus!

Thanks again for the tips!
