Great video! What considerations are there for the asymmetrical hard stop on the final design? Is the design load “just” sized small enough for that to be negligible?

Yunno honestly I don't remember why it ended up like that. I think it was leftover from a feature that was later deleted, and I never made the stops symmetrical. I think making it symmetrical would be better though!

This was great! Love the iterative design, and details on the challenges space hardware would face.
