Sorry I’m just now seeing this, and late to the party is just fine 😍 I’m looking at redesigning it this year anyways!

I’m not sure if this is similar to what you meant by an accordion covering, but what we did was design a mold that we 3D printed and poured silicone into to create a seal/cover that will stretch as the piston of the linear actuator slides in and out.

I did as well for my daily driver school laptop and I’ve been loving it so much. I’m considering switching my desktop to Linux as well over the summer, or dual booting at the very least

I’m really interested to know what the environmental impact of this could be compared to conventional fuel sources
