I went with a very pasta like route for creating this one. (Version 1.0) Its rather cluttered looking and is mostly made of curves with pipe and surface extrusion commands. This caused some weird aspects but was rather quick. Likely will not be the most efficient to print though.

I made the body all one piece, the board is slid in from the rear in both cases and then screwed to mounting tabs.

Although there are mounting positions for both circuit boards only one can be in use at once due to clearance issues.

For now this is considered a prototype since I would like to create one with a more unified form language and maybe more planar styling.

Not even the battery compartment has been test printed yet so do so at your own risk. Hopefully a print will get set up over the weekend or on Monday.

This is designed to go around the wrist like the previous model but this has rod like connections to allow for the use of elastic webbing, so this will be an additional step unless it fares better as a handheld device. Maybe a gun (or likely drill like in appearance) model would be nice, then you could just point at what you want to listen to.
