Almost there...
Today I finally cut the wooden case. Unfortunately I didn't take any pic during the cut. I used some fir wood because it's the cheapest and the only I could find nearby. It's super soft which is good for machining but not so good for the finishing. More on that later.

Here it is just out of the CNC. The cut went super smooth. All the parts fit toghether nicely. As you might notice I got rid of the fillet around the upper edge because it was too feminine and real men want straight edges for their macropads... (Actually I couldn't figure out how to machine them in Fusion 360, if you know how and have some tips please help me!)

I added some threaded inserts inside to have something to grip into. They work great!

Everything fits so nicely!

Some nice shots to have a better feeling of how it turned out.
Now I only need to find a way to give a nice finish to the wood and find the right length of M2 screws to seal it all toghether. Guess I'll need to wait till next week...

This is coming along very well. I have ordered all the parts from your lists and they are arriving here and there now. Once they are all in, I will get into this project. Thanks
