Future Improvement

For future versions of the project I would like to model the interface between the main plastic body and the remotes metal faceplate. I couldn’t do this in this first version because my remote that I was modeling couldn’t be dissassembled without permanetly breaking it. I would also consider trying to shink the wall plate to more closely fit the remote. Another future goal would be to design the key for locking the back onto the remote to be able to be injectio molded instead of its current state of being metal and screw based.
