Today started thinking about my next steps for my light switch project since using a potting box as an enclosure didn't provide me as clear a path I would have liked. I decided to see if I could come up with my own designed enclosure and print it up on my new Monoprice Mini Select 3D printer.

It of course didn't come out perfect however I was more focused on if I could produce an enclosure in a day rather than focusing on making the perfect design. I will have to add more room to where the wires pass from the PCB to the button and I will have to add some "shelves" to the corners adjacent to the bosses so the board is better support. Overall I am super excited about what I was able to accomplish in about 3.5 hours this evening.
