I measured and drafted footprints for all the pieces that would mount on the top of the enclosure. I chose parts in my workshop, and I didn't want to make a fuss about uploading them since they were anything special. The two most important components were a pair of linear potentiometers and the 3.5" screen. I measured the sliders and used online measurements for the monitor.
Making footprints

Even though one of the parts was nothing more than a circle and label, I made files for them and inserted them in a drawing as blocks. I took the rest of the day to arrange them. I removed the two-position switches from the plan since I thought they would be in the way, but I added a stereo amplifier to act as a standalone unit.

I don't have plans for how I will assemble everything, but I have bolt holes in the corner, so I may have to model a corner piece and print one. Alternatively, I could mount the plastic sheets into an existing plastic enclosure.
