holes, use them for better support in the base</li><li>The PCB modules could be fit a little bit tighter into their respective casing making it easier e.g. to push a button from the outside</li><li>Conversion modules between the large and small diameters</li></ul><h4><br><strong>Precursor of this design</strong></h4><p>This design is inspired by
