Would it be a good idea to custom design a case (display cover, keyboard enclosure and bottom case) to be 100% plastic?
I'd like one and i was wondering if you'd want one as well.
No.
My thoughts:
- Plastic will warp when heated.
- The metal in the MBP is probably being used as a heatsink
- It won't look good.
Look into seeing what makes it run so hot. Ditch Chrome, Slack and any Electron apps and your laptop will be cool forever.

It's not running "so hot", it's just annoying. The weight problem is the one i want to get rid of. I recently got an ideapad that is partly plastic, it's not hot and it only weighs 1kg.
No.
You should at least expand why. My thoughts: - Plastic will warp when heated. - The metal in the MBP is probably being used as a heatsink - It won't look good.
There are two contradictory things about Macers:
(1) They hate macs. They are always complaining about their computers, about how they waste time hanging around the "genius" bar. (e.g. maybe it is not smart to do!)
(2) They insist on buying macs no matter what and won't consider that you can get plastic computers, computers with good heat sinks, computers with more RAM, computers with NVIDIA graphics cards or AMD APUs, etc. if they just were willing to take their business elsewhere.
