F/A-18 MPCD

I'm having trouble squeezing an Arduino, teenys, etc into this design, space is extremely tight, I'll likely need to redesign the housing to make more room. I've uploaded a possible work-around that I haven't tested myself. To free up some space, I removed parts of the 'Button Rails' and rotated them 90 degrees to flatten them as much as possible. This way, you won't need supports for them. I also recommend making it as sturdy as possible. I'm redesigning it now because I'm struggling to route all the wires needed for the buttons in the limited space I have left. I advise anyone to wait for the redesign before attempting to build it themselves. This is my MPCD, and here's what you'll need: 20 x 12x12mm momentary push buttons, 6 x momentary ON-OFF-ON toggle switches, super glue, a single potentiometer, wire, 6 x 20mm M3 screws, 12 x M3 nuts, 4 x 25mm M3 screws, and 8 x M3 nuts. I'm also using a Teensy, Arduino, or any other microcontroller. To break down the MPCD into manageable pieces, I divided it into several parts. My CR-10S printer can handle smaller, simpler prints more efficiently. They take less time to complete and are less likely to fail. Assembly involves super-gluing the Top body to the lower body, printing 4 button rails, wiring them, and then super-gluing them into their slots. I replaced the rocker switches with toggle switches because designing a custom rocker switch would have been more complicated than using 6 x 6mm switches. There's enough room in this design for a Pro Micro or Teensy 3 to fit between the HDG and CRS switches.
