2026-09-24 (Th) EleKSCo REV05 Another brake design

The new brake design was trickier to model than I expected. I kept running into issues where I could not fully visualize the internal workings, but I sketched out a cutaway view, and it made sense. Part of the problem was that I integrated a nut socket, and the walls around it made it a challenge to imagine the outermost walls. I modeled the thin walls with an interior ledge so the ledge pushes the walls out like a paper lantern when I insert a countersunk bolt. There were six slots on the walls, but I can add or remove more depending on how six performs. The more slots I render, the more flexible the walls. I rendered a test copy without the battery holder.

Should flare out when tightened
