Just a bit of.

I've decided to do away with separate interface plates as they don't really add that many functions - due to my limited printing volume panels are already cut and sorta modular, so if i need to - i can reprint every panel instead. It's probably gonna bite my back when i will mount electronics inside - after all interface plates provided plenty of mounting holes and now they are gone.

Small screen also got it's buttons placed on top instead of to the side, because that place will be filled with other controls. I have to think about removing those button panels in favor of IR control, because these do take up space and aren't really used that much.

Big screen space got it's interface panel now instead of it being a conduit place for cables and such. The aim is to provide an easy way to remove said screen and open connectors for HMD, even bigger screen and such. It also has DC output terminal for the screen or anything else that can accept 12V. XT60 will act as primary voltage input for the whole deck - battery module will be separable part, attachable onto exposed part of the back rail.

I hope there will be no more redesign as there is still alot of work to do and blackouts severely limit my ability to print drafts - and i'm yet to finish exterior conception. And I haven't even touched electronics yet!
