@drewmoore @purism I think plan was always a moulded case. The early ones were probably aluminium because of the ease of going from CAD design to CNC milled aluminium in low quantity and with high precision. Changes could be made easily because they're individually manufactured. Plastic injection moulds are expensive and would not allow an easy change in design like milled aluminium. The current price is in line with a smart phone with a plastic moulded case. I'm OK with that.
