Context

The first decision I had to make was which version of the amp's packaging dimensions I wanted to mimic. The first version would have been narrower and more compact, but more difficult to incorporate the cable into. Thus, I ended up mimicking the second version's dimensions. That meant placing the compartments side-by-side, rather than creating a channel to wrap the cable around the main compartment. I also needed to decide how to make the top piece. I ultimately decided to do something simple and laser cut a piece of acrylic to slot into a channel I made.

As far as I can tell, there weren't/aren't any precedent projects that led to this one (I could be wrong).
