Meet the PBP Tinkerer Housing early proposal

[8jef]

Hello PBP enthusiasts,


This is a very early basic design idea for an upgraded PBP housing.

Main features:

A few mm thicker bottom
Front facing speakers
Expanded width for hardware upgrades
M.2 Door
Integrated USB 3 hub
Easy customization 
3D printed on demand
Durable, recyclable
Future proof

+1 to this idea! Approximately how much would this upgrade cost?

I have no idea about any costs. I'm also tempted by @bootdsc's idea, just making it thicker. In that regard, I'm thinking of just making a replacement bottom cover that would fit under the actual laptop. My to do list: make a better design (this one is clearly not precise or optimal), find a way to 3D design it, then find a 3D printing service that can render such a large piece.
