3D printable chassis

open source parametric CAD file
meets IP64 ingress protection. IP codes info
easy to print for a hobbyist
as repairable as possible
won't crack or damage the electronics if someone sits on it by accident (i.e. ~90 kg squishable)
won't break when dropped from 1.5 m
replaceable protective glass solution
replaceable camera protective glass solution
as ergonomic as possible
visually appealing
as environmentally friendly as reasonable

CNC chassis

open source parametric CAD file
can be built using a 3 axis mill as a single part
made from aluminium alloy or similar material
doesn't require tight tolerances (thus expensive tools)
ready "plug and play" G code files with different manufacturing options (e.g. manual/automatic tapping, manual/automatic tool changing etc.)
accesible to hobbyists, doesn't require advanced machining techniques
IP64
replaceable protective glass solution
replaceable camera protective glass solution
as ergonomic as possible
as repairable as possible
stronger than 3D printable option
visually appealing
as environmentally friendly as reasonable
