I didn't want to have these parts as solid material because the parts would then be extremely heavy and also I was not completely sure whether I would need the space for the driving motors. I didn't want to manufacture a separate silicon mould for the interior, so these are not particularly aesthetic. However, this is not visible in the finished product anyway. |
