2026-07-02 (Th) EWC_Mobile Enclosure modeling

I rearranged some of the components but kept most of them the same. The biggest change was foregoing the microcontroller's shelf in favor of mounting a prototyping circuit board with some bolts. The board was longer than I wanted, so the enclosure grew a bit. I moved the MIDI port away from the operators so the cord would not interfere with them. All the shapes were detailed in the CAD file, so things like rounded corners were easy to implement. I was essentially extruding the 2D layers into 3D by amounts set in the 3D rendering file, which worked fine since I was making everything stacked on top of each other in a column. I printed a thin copy to test all my dimensions, but I have a few notes about how to improve the next version of the faceplate. The case, which appeared blue, was a pretty simple shape with bolt holes in the corners.
