The electronics are shoehorned into the back of the machine as we didn't want a separate case, it was a tight fit getting everything in there but worked out ok. This is the only picture I have.

The video doesn't show it but the screws are offset to the side and out of the way of any chips that might get inside, also the chips just drop through a cut-out in the bottom and into the pan below. I did think about fitting brushes but they are messy things that wear away and in practice, the chips that do get inside or near the screws are a fraction compared to conventional z-axis so it's no big issue really.
