Update mechanical folder structure for multiple sub-assemblies

- Refactor mechanical/ directory to support multiple sub-assemblies instead of just enclosures
- Update mechanical/README.md with comprehensive sub-assembly organization examples
- Enhance mechanical/cad/README.md with detailed sub-assembly structure (PCB mounts, sensor housing, connector panels, cooling, etc.)
- Expand mechanical/enclosure/README.md to cover main housing, sub-enclosures, and removable panels
- Improve mechanical/stl/README.md with broader 3D printing categories including tooling, prototyping, and custom components
- Update mechanical/drawings/README.md with comprehensive technical drawing organization for all mechanical components
- Add detailed manufacturing considerations, quality control procedures, and file management guidelines
- Support complex projects with multiple mechanical sub-systems and assemblies

# /mechanical/enclosure
STL/STEP files for 3D-printable enclosures.
Housing and enclosure designs for the complete system.
## Purpose
This directory contains enclosure and housing designs that protect and contain the electronic and mechanical components. Enclosures may include multiple housings, covers, and panels depending on system complexity.
## Enclosure Types
Organize by enclosure function and hierarchy:
```
enclosure/
├── main-housing/ # Primary system enclosure
│ ├── base-housing.sldprt
│ ├── top-cover.sldprt
│ ├── gaskets-seals.sldprt
│ └── housing-assembly.sldasm
├── sub-enclosures/ # Secondary or modular housings
│ ├── sensor-module-housing/
│ ├── power-supply-housing/
│ ├── interface-module-housing/
│ └── expansion-module-housing/
└── covers-panels/ # Removable access components
├── access-panels/
├── connector-panels/
├── display-bezels/
└── ventilation-grilles/
```
## Design Considerations
### Environmental Protection
- **IP Rating**: Define ingress protection requirements
- **Sealing**: Gaskets, O-rings, and weatherproofing
- **Drainage**: Water management and condensation control
- **Ventilation**: Airflow and thermal management
### Mechanical Requirements
- **Structural Integrity**: Load bearing and impact resistance
- **Mounting**: Wall mount, panel mount, or free-standing
- **Access**: Service panels and component accessibility
- **Cable Management**: Entry points and strain relief
### Manufacturing Considerations
- **Material Selection**: Plastic, metal, composite materials
- **Manufacturing Process**: Injection molding, machining, sheet metal
- **Tolerances**: Fit and finish requirements
- **Surface Treatment**: Painting, anodizing, texturing
### Electrical Integration
- **EMI/RFI Shielding**: Electromagnetic compatibility
- **Grounding**: Electrical safety and noise reduction
- **Cable Entry**: Glands, connectors, and feedthroughs
- **Heat Dissipation**: Thermal interface to internal components
## File Organization
### Main Housing Files
- **Base/Bottom**: Primary structural component
- **Cover/Top**: Removable or hinged access
- **Sides/Walls**: Structural walls and mounting surfaces
- **Internal Structure**: Mounting posts, ribs, and supports
### Sub-Enclosure Files
- **Modular Housings**: Self-contained sub-assemblies
- **Protective Covers**: Component-specific protection
- **Interface Panels**: User interaction surfaces
- **Mounting Brackets**: Attachment to main housing
### Hardware and Fasteners
- **Screws and Bolts**: Fastening hardware specifications
- **Hinges and Latches**: Access mechanism components
- **Gaskets and Seals**: Environmental protection components
- **Inserts and Threads**: Threaded fastening points
## Material Specifications
Document material requirements for each component:
- **Mechanical Properties**: Strength, flexibility, durability
- **Environmental Resistance**: UV, chemical, temperature
- **Electrical Properties**: Conductivity, dielectric strength
- **Regulatory Compliance**: UL, CE, RoHS requirements
## Assembly Instructions
- **Assembly Sequence**: Order of component installation
- **Torque Specifications**: Fastener tightening requirements
- **Sealing Procedures**: Gasket installation and verification
- **Quality Checks**: Dimensional and functional verification
## Testing and Validation
- **Environmental Testing**: Temperature, humidity, vibration
- **Ingress Protection**: Water and dust resistance verification
- **EMC Testing**: Electromagnetic compatibility validation
- **Mechanical Testing**: Drop, impact, and load testing
