Modeling a Faceplate

I took a shot at quickly modeling a faceplate using TinkerCAD using the 3D scan as a reference. I hadn't used it for some time, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they incorporated a new sketch tool. This allowed me to roughly outline the side of the frame and extrude it. I added some holes and gaps to account for the switch and usb port. I now had a basic face plate to print.

The library didn't have any slots, so I'll probably split this model in two parts so I can print it on my 3D printer. I'll post some pictures of the first face plate mounted to the frame. I just plan to use some double sided tape. Eventually I'll make someting that attaches more firmly with clips or something.
