It finally looks like a production-ready build! I spent this session organizing the entire project hierarchy, making sure every part is properly named and structured into clean sub-assemblies.
Mechanically, I added locking points for the structural frame. I designed connector holes across the differential and motor housings so that screws can pass directly through the 3D-printed parts and secure the carbon fiber rods, locking everything firmly into place.I also finalized the roof panels for the chassis. To keep them easily removable, I planned out recessed channels for small magnetic strips, allowing the panels to snap effortlessly onto the main body.
For the payload, I designed a dedicated, integrated housing to mount the LiDAR unit and the CSI camera together. Finally, I threw a custom rear wing onto the back of the chassis, mostly for aesthetics, but if the print budget and print bed space allow for it, it is definitely staying on the final build!
