[OpenTRV-dev] I wonder if we can borrow an idea from this...

[Bruno Girin]

The interlock is a good idea actually. I experimented with interlocking
shapes on my own printer a few months ago and it works remarkably well. It
also ensures that you only print small-ish pieces that just assemble
together a bit like LEGO.

In practice, thinking about it, interlock may be a way to create boxes that
don't need any screws to put together. I'll have to experiment with that.

Regarding the customisation, I'll have to investigate how it works in
Thingiverse but I'm sure we can do it.
