Danelectro tried using plastic pedals in the late 90's - they didn't last.  People underestimate the abuse a stomp box gets, even if its not used much on stage, these things get bumped around al ot on the road.

And if anything else fails, a 3D printed housing can be designed to include a metal brace (and/or weight) which can also be a part which is outsourced. Either way, with 3D printing you can do a lot more compared to using standard enclosures.

You can think of a dozen ways to make a 3D printed plastic case better, fact is no one in the industry is going to buy a plastic effects pedal.

EEVblog:
Update: Fran just did a Patreon post indicating that a recent Patreon push has gotten enough traction to keep FranLab running through 2025. So I presume that means the storage units are saved as well, at least for this year.
Come back in 2026.

Some of us are rootin' for her!

Uli Behringer have made foot pedals with plastic casing for years! And selling truck loads of them.
