I've just subscribed to the channel, based on the great sense of relief that I felt as I realised that I'm not the only guy who makes things fit by sawing bits off and glueing stuff together. Not having a 3D printer, I cannot design a new case for something, but have to go through my spare parts box and select items that could be cajoled into serving as part of the new thing. I have done this many times and it's why I have so many items that are 'gravity sensitive'. P.S. Suggested modifications: Li-Ion cells.
