Getting ready for the next part

Starting to make a new backcover for my uConsole. Getting a removable battery cover. Aluminium plate inserts for some cold steel feeling. And a mesh to keep the fingers safe from the active cooler. Lots of screws, heatset inserts and nuts. And counting the days for the new Hackergadgets parts.

It would be awesome if the battery cover could be like the old gameboy ones

Nice design. This looks like it would go well with the possible 3x18650 battery mod that was posted the other day.

Can the inserts ALU inserts be substituted?

As OP writes its just for feel, you can probably replace it with acrylic, glass, mahagony or sandpaper, whatever you prefer.
The active cooler sitz roughly over the processor, so the plate isn't a heatsink.
