Mounting the buttons on spring sockets (as done in bd4686d517) makes the mounting concept much easier because it allows us to disassemble the PCB from the front plate without desoldering.

Now the stackup of components can be:

  1. lower Sidepanel
  2. Buttons
  3. Frontplate
  4. PCB
  5. Housing
  6. Plug ring
  7. Wiring Harness

in that order. It can still be discussed whether our frontplate should be the lower side panel or a separate sheet within that, although i'm leaning towards the second option for modularity's and ease's sake. Might also be easier to secure against water ingress that way.

It should be noted that the new button mounting concept also requires the buttons to be fairly rigidly mounted in relation to the PCB. If the carbon fiber laminate is not rigid enough, it may be required to add 3d printed reinforcements beween buttons and PCB, but i don't see that as a problem for now.

Sealing is mostly not necessary due to the component stackup. It might be preferable to add some sealant to some joins. Also, the SWD header needs a plug or something
