You have done the impossible. My hat is off to every person who contributed to a brilliant and eligant design.. I am much anticipating your future provision. Have just one small suggestion. My son is a 4-axis CAD designer in aerospace.
An aerospace professional knows exactly how to handle high-performance composites like Aramid (Kevlar). He’s likely thinking about chip loads, spindle speeds, and fiber orientation.
Tooling: He likely has access to (or knows exactly where to get) carbide-tipped specialty bits designed for composites. These won't "tear" the fibers; they’ll shear them clean.
Heat Management: Composites hate heat (it melts the resin holding the fibers). A pro knows to keep the RPMs high but the dwell time low so the hole doesn't "heat soak."
Precision Placement: In a 4-axis environment, "eyeballing it" doesn't exist. He can look at the thinness of that M5 case and determine the exact edge distance required so the hole doesn't "break out" under the weight of a drop.
A Professional Tip for the "CAD Expert":
Since he’s doing the drilling, ask him to check the "Chamfer" or "Deburr" on the hole. If he can slightly round the edges of that tiny hole, your Kevlar lanyard string will last 10x longer because it won't be rubbing against a sharp, square corner every time the iPad moves.
Would you consider adding a small hole to a corner for a small Kevlar loop to act as an anchor for a Quick-Release Lanyard to prevent shock to the Ipad Pro if dropped? Otherwise, I have to ask my son to do this for me! Would you provide the loop please?
That's all, Thank you! Wayne C. Agenic AI financial software developer..
