Mechanical
Goals for the Growver mechanical design:
- Minimize number of parts and especially the number of fasteners
- Use a minimum number of tools for final assembly
- Replacing or upgrading parts should only take a few minutes
- Use readily available materials
- Take advantage of 3D printing, but with moderate print times
