A project log for Mic Box

I am working on creating a sort of protective case for my department's wireless microphone body packs and elements.

This is the first model of the case that I made about a week and a half ago. It wasn't great. It did hi light some very glaring problems that I couldn't see in the program that I had designed it in, that I just couldn't see while I was designing it. For one, there isn't actually any room for the microphone. The bottom half of it is hollowed out, but the top half isn't.

Another problem is that I also forgot to hollow out space for the element and the antenna. And the last problem is that it isn't nearly thick enough. it protects from water well enough, but if I wanted to, I could crush it with a very small amount of force. So it needs to be much thicker. All in all, it was an ok failure, because it helped me see a couple of things that I got right, and a couple of things that I need to fix for the next model. So this is my first attempt. This was sort of what it was supposed to do. Fail beautifully right?? Anyway. The next step is to meet with my professor/advisor and talk about how we want to improve on this design. until then..
