To be fair, we probably should have mentioned that. We simply chose PLA because it is easy to manufacture with. Possibly, things could have gone south pretty quickly. If we do something similar again, we could use some fancy machined metal for the housing.
Yeah, I can definitely relate. Fortunately, we had a team who was kind of interested at the start, so we could work from there. To be honest, I've learned so much from this, it's definitly worth the time I put in.
