The CNC Pendant enclosure is assembled to be 35mm tall in total, with the top being 25mm tall and the pocket being 20mm deep. This provides 5mm of thickness for screwing buttons and securing the M5 Dial, as well as room for wires.

The lid (bottom) is 12mm tall, with a 2mm deep edge for adjusting the top and bottom alignment. Additionally, there is a 7mm deep pocket for extra wire and assembly space (in my case, it turned out not to be necessary). Finally, space is made for 4 magnets, each 2mm thick, on the inside of the lid.

You lose a bit of attraction force by placing the magnets on the inside of the lid, but it's enough for it to stay in the cradle.

Mounting holes are pre-drilled by hand, on the inside of the lid, and after placing the lid on top, I transferred the drill holes to the top piece. 
This is the reason why I chose to create a 2mm deep edge to perfectly align the top and bottom.  And of course, pre drilling for countersunk screws.

Lastly, I rounded the edges of the top and bottom with a router to ensure the CNC Pendant is comfortable to hold in my hand..
