autonomous_labs test-fits bare aluminum chassis before anodizing to catch tolerance issues
dee_hw · x · 2026-10-29
autonomouslabs shared their hardware assembly practice: fully test-fitting the bare aluminum chassis—panels, GPU bracket, every screw hole—before anodizing, so any fitment issue costs ten minutes to fix now instead of remaking a panel afterward. The photo shows the triangulated lattice chassis and central pillar frame during dry-fit.
