The square housing of the gear behind the (enormous) RA gear in the middle of its squarish case (the closest vertical side in its centre). I didn't push hard - say 2-3 kgs of force on one or two fingers. It definitely flexed - like very thin aluminium - which surprised me.

I'm sure its built like a precision tank - but the casing itself seemed alot thinner than say the aluminium sheets of my Rangewood extractor above my stove. I was expecting it to be solid - like say 1-2mm stainless steel, but it flexed like < 1mm aluminium would. Not that it matters at all to its abilities, just surprised me!
