I really like that. I have been thinking of something very similar. What I am thinking of is a quick way to deploy BATS into an active battlefield. Your idea could be dropped shipped from a high flying plane. I do not think I could get a Bat to fit in there though.

Got my first resin printer and at least for the two resins I bought so far, can't use it for the part holding the suit to the lid. BUT, figured out a design that will print on the traditional printer that is so far so good. Also was able to fit one spot for either the small gun thing or the grenade launcher, so inside, it will hold 5 accessories:
Here's just a single pic with 3 angles of an exo suit in place when the lid opens: Last update before I send a few out to a friend for testing, pic of the suit folded with the lid closed but doors open:

So, this took a small backseat while my Etsy store got busy. Went back and rethought how the feet sit and are held down. Came up with a "one-time" use feature, which on a battlefield, would make sense to me. The hooks on either side of the holddown piece will hold the suit arms in place too.
Also increased the dimensions overall to allow for better fitment of the suit and some accessories. Now, just working on making the lid work/look better and then onto aesthetics. I think the exo-suit is pretty secure in the base now!

Thank you so much! It's been a labor of love, and hope it pays off.
Thank you!!! It's taking longer than expected to get this to production. Making 1 or 2 is one thing, but now that I'm trying to make more, it's proving time-consuming in getting everything to fit right. Plus, I tend to be a perfectionist.
