	~~Screw fastening the lid would reduce the mounting volume of the terminal case considerably. But the trick is enabling screw fastening while retaining the ability to use C-Clamp compression too.~~

	The cable glands are fine but there's a mounting issue where the aluminum is too thick for the short mounting thread of the cable gland. Also a multi-cable issue associated with fact that a cable gland can only seal properly with a single cable. Using some goop like silicone would work as a less modular solution- but only for the time being.

	Welding technique: definitely weld the outside seams of the case because butt welds are far more straightforward than internal fillet welds. This also prevent slag from interfering with the electronics.

	~~PCB Mounting technique: use spacers between the bottom of the PCB and the insulator plate so that short-circuiting is far less likely from any conductive thing getting down there.~~

	~~Considering hinge... but that dramatically increases complexity and sacrifices modularity. Probably not this time.~~
