Pardon the brim remnants. Not pictured: the many prior iterations. This started as a head on photo that I imported into fusion 360 and scaled after some measuring with calipers. It's not perfect, but it's rapidly approaching good enough. The square indent is to help with orientation - although the part obviously is not symmetrical, it's much harder to judge the home.

Another 3D printed Bluetooth speaker. This is a generic battery level gauge. It's not completely accurate, but it does a fairly good job of indicating general charge level.

Rather than print the whole face, I cut off just the mount for the screen to iterate. All my other plugs and jacks fit on their first attempt, which was a first. The rocker switch even had a nice satisfying click when it locked into place.

Hopefully I can wrap up CAD in the next week or so as time allows. Everything is done aside from the built in handle.
