----SOLVED----
Thank you to everybody for your assistance. I managed to get to where I wanted thanks to instructions provided by @dual_sport_dork
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Not sure if anyone can help me here. I am pretty lost and confused and wouldn't mind if someone could ELI5 something for me.
I've never used a real CAD software before yesterday night and I'm struggling a bit, I tried googling things but it's just sending me deeper into a rabbit hole of things I do not understand yet.
I'm trying to make this speaker enclosure I've seen just to do something with this shitty bluetooth speaker I have, so I decided to recreate the enclosure myself.
Long story short, I realized I kinda screwed myself after disassembling the bluetooth speaker and now I need to make a 2mm deep pocket on top of the case to snap in the buttons module. I don't really feel like starting the design again from scratch.
Anyway, as you can see in the attached image, I need to make a big round pocket on top, but both side panels are separate bodies so my pocket only goes through the main body and ignores the 2 other bodies.
I can think of other ways to achieve what I want but I'd really like to figure out a way to do it from where I am right now, if possible. I've seen the term shape binder and "union" in my searches but I can't quite figure it out.
Thank you to anyone who bothered reading this lol
EDIT: For anyone who might see this and is curious about how the enclosure is performing, I finished printing the main body and assembled it to test. Am still missing the side panels and I have to design some kind of flange cover for the driver but here's what I got so far:
FYI, I was looking at that exact enclosure for a project I was working on and quickly came to realize that without a bunch of design calculations and redesign for a specific driver it is probably going to be worse sounding than just mounting it into a basic box (with a port if you are feeling fancy).
Oh yeah I don't doubt that for a second. This project is basically just me trying to learn how to use CAD software and I figured this would be a good exercise.
I'm curious to see how bad it'll sound but the enclosure the speaker originally came in was so bad I wouldn't be surprised if it's not any worse, just a different kind of bad.
True, if you remodeled it completely the folded horn is a good exercise in sketching in particular!
Yeah I did remodel it completely from scratch. Although I know I didn't do it properly it still taught me a bunch and it will make noise. That part should be done printing in about 2 hours, I'm excited to hear how bad it sounds and to find out how many mistakes I've made in my design hahah.
In case you're curious to hear how mine is shaping out to be, here's a quick demo:
Ratchet speaker enclosure test
I'm actually SO surprised with the results, it completely blows away what it used to be in the original enclosure.
