[E2][T] Spin-off motor, PCB and UV LED?

Looking at my options, i think the best thing to do now is make a prototype that doesn't include a motor.
- This would also make it easier to implement if someone just wants to have an LED lit, force sensitive but otherwise basic slider, similar in nature to the encoders installed in some hobbyist keyboards.
- At least if literally everything else about the current concept works, it would be easier to justify £50 and up for a prototype motor or spending days making my own.
- [E2] The proposal... fails. I need a haptic source, where the lack of which was partially responsible for the non-use of #AirBerries and SpaceExplorer
I've created project #Tetrinsic Toroid [gd0152] which would contain the BLDC + PCB.
- [E2: May 1] - Renamed to a trendier "Tetoroidiv" to keep with the coincidental tradition of an ever so slightly longer name on each subproject;
Move the UV LED out of Tetrinsic's domain
- I've computed a new Tetent solution, and started on an Itinervate one too, and it seems that the LED would be better mounted on the enclosure or PCB mounted with Tetrinsic, and not something to bundle along with it.
- The above is the potential Tetent solution side profile. The top/right orange part is the belt, and the left orange is an LED that just lines up with the ones on Tetrinsic to give the illusion that it's continuous. In actuality, this curve has the 21700 cell.. The grey lines is supposed to be a 3D texture of diamond squares.

- I'm calling this Concept Solution Epsilon, named after the Overlord character, because it's a potential solution and I wrongly thought ' Σ ' was capital epsilon until I looked it up right now.
Additionally, water resistance becomes mandatory.
- I need to get "that 99.9% uptime". What I mean by this is that I want to be able to use it in 99.9% of reasonable situations. Thinking through thoughts during a shower or while running in the rain between locations is what I'd call a reasonable situation.
- I think there's a notable and valuable gain from the difference between a 90%, 99% and 99.9% solution.
- [E1] Unfortunately, the COB strip is IP20, so not off to a good start.
