I have now finished the scaled pipboy so it's closer to game scale and it definitely looks better. The side console on the right side I have now hollowed so the switches and encoders can be placed in the housing and have enough space for some LED's and wiring. Below is a short list of the ones I've sized the consoles for;

5 x Mini rectangular rocker switch - roughly 15mm x 9 mm

1 x Micro Button Switch - Dims - 6mm x 6mm x 4.3

2 x Rotary Encoder EC11

With my build I was going to power it with some LED's so when I've printed it out fully I will see what else I can find on ebay in terms of microelectronics to make this build better. So in the next couple weeks/months I might make further improvements if I learn or some need equipment. The battery I've decided to use is a 3V Panasonic CR123A Battery as it will power a load of LEDs and is quite small for its capacity.

In the uploaded files, the only difference I have also made is that I have made two versions of the top side console, one with an open rad meter face for a rear lighting and one with a covered one. My plan was to try and back light it an LED and some thin sheet with the rad meter printed on it. I have included both files as its up to you with what you want to with your build.

I have not updated the BOM's or drawings yet as I just wanted to get the files out, but they will follow in the next couple days. Once I have figured out what I'm doing for the electronics in terms of wiring I will also make a simple wiring diagram so aid with that aspect as well.
