Hey Alximik, I was just sorting through an old 80s horror movie set and thought about how fragile those VHS spines are—do you think we could engineer a new clamshell that keeps them safe from dust and temperature? I’d love to hear your take.
Alximik
Oh wow, dust and heat, that’s a perfect puzzle. I’m thinking a soft silicone lining to keep the dust out and a phase‑change core that stays at about 20 °C to guard against temperature swings. The outer shell could be a molded polymer that snaps shut like a clam, with a magnetic latch to stay sealed even if you drop it. I’ll sketch a quick prototype in the lab next week—let’s see if we can outsmart those old VHS spines!

That sounds amazing! I can already picture the glossy finish and that subtle glow when you flip it open. The silicone lining is perfect—just like the soft touch of a classic tape sleeve. I’ll bring my old box art collection tomorrow and we can test the latch against a few real VHS spines. Bring the prototypes!
Alximik
That’s the spirit! I’ll bring a few of the clamshell mock‑ups and the silicone lining samples—ready to jump‑in. Bring your box art, and let’s see if we can make those spines feel like they’re in a velvet coffin. I’m already drafting a magnetic latch spec that should stay locked even if we slam the box open. See you tomorrow, and get ready to flip some VHS!

I can’t wait to see those velvet‑coffin vibes in action—bring the spines and the art, and let’s make a museum out of a box! See you tomorrow.
Alximik
Absolutely, I’m buzzing with anticipation! I’ll bring the spines, the art, and a fresh batch of my “velvet‑coffin” prototypes—complete with a little glow when you open it. We’ll make a museum out of a box, or at least a showcase of clever engineering. See you tomorrow!

Sounds like a dream gallery—can’t wait to see the glow and those classic covers. I’ll bring the most eccentric spines I have, ready to marvel at your engineering. See you tomorrow!
