Description
A variant of my parametric generic click together device packaging that has Axis identifying labels embossed into each face for greater user friendly-ness.
This was also a test for combining multiple .stl and .scad files into a single shape with the "use" and "include" functionality of OpenSCAD

Instructions
0. Download all .SCAD files to the same directory!
1. Customise the settings in the big long file name WIMUv3_v1.5_2011-11-28_tyndall_generic_device_packaging_v1.4.scad to generate a correct sized packaging for your application (the one with nologo at the start will put a -Z rather than the tyndall logo on the bottom)
2. Customise the settings in include_test1.scad to make the labels appear in the correct location (I moved the -X label in the example as there was a hole in the way)
3. Save and recompile the WIMUv3_v1.5_2011-11-28_tyndall_generic_device_packaging_v1.4.scad file
4. Generate .stl
5. Print and cleanup if necessary
6. *Click* together around your electronic device
7. Play!

Thingiverse perhaps needs to replace the "I made one" button with an "I made X" button. We've just assembled, calibrated, tested, demonstrated and delivered a large batch of such devices over the past few days (and nights). 39 units were handed over today packaged into 10 systems. Deadline met, time to enter holiday mode!
