MP3 Decoder Encloser

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/huKHT4WOSUS Hello Everyone. I created my first item to be 3d printed on my own and it's a significant achievement for me. There is a story behind this creation that started earlier this summer when I was painting my house. At the time, I felt that my mail box needed an update. When I removed it, the mailman showed up unexpectedly and I told him I was getting a new and fancier mailbox that would be able to do all sorts of cool things. He asked if it could play "Obe to Joy" for me? I just smiled and said you never know, maybe it will be possible. I had recently started playing again with electronics and had an MP3 decoder that I was going to use for another 3d printed item. So, I opened Tinkercad and made a small box for the decoder. Also, I needed a housing for a speaker that I was going to use, so I included that STL as well. There are small buttons on the decoder, but I didn't include a way in the design of the top to be able to push them. I'm not sure if it's possible due to their small size. To keep everything together, I hot glued the speaker housing to the top of the mailbox. To conclude this story, I put my decoder and speaker into the mail box just before the mailman showed up, and as he walked up the driveway, I could see that I made his day with the smile on his face. A few days later, I upgraded the speaker connected to the MP3 decoder. When he saw it walking up the driveway playing his song, he almost lost it. I told him maybe he didn't hear it the first time. Links to the decoder and speaker are below. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TF-Card-U-Disk-MP3-Format-Decoder-Board-Audio-Decoding-Module-W-Amplifier/162499992916?_trkparms=aid%25253D222007%2526algo%25253DSIM.MBE%2526ao%25253D2%2526asc%253D20170831090034%2526meid%253D03ee2c549a664869b5c851c1b2aa985e%2526pid%253D100005%2526rk%253D5%2526rkt%253D6%2526sd%253D192163653486&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Speaker: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2pcs-4-Ohm-Acoustic-Speaker-3W-40mm-Speaker-36mm-Magnetic-Outdoor-Black-Hat-PU-/201924655646?hash=item2f03a5ba1e:g:V6kAAOSw3gJZGbLa
