Then it should be as simple as popping off the CIM gear and sliding it out of the enclosure. I could be wrong, but I imagine this was SerpentEagle's intent when designing it.

This is a nice, compact gearbox. How much does it weigh? Also, did you think about the abundance of possible pinch points where someone could get a finger stuck? I imagine it shouldn't be that hard to cover with some clear plastic (which will also help keep out scruff) but maybe you have a better idea.
No your right, that was the intent.

According to solidworks it weights approx. 6.5 lbs, so ~7 lbs.

And no I didn't think about pinch points, good thing you brought it up. I'm thinking that a 3d printed shell with screw holes would work nicely.
