Assembly instructions

Step 1: Assemble the all sides of the case except the front by inserting the tabs in their respective slots

Make sure that the orientation of each of the faces matches that of the picture below.

Step 2: Fasten with machine screws/nuts

For each T-slot connection, while holding a nut in the slot with your fingers, use a screwdriver to fasten the joint with a 16mm machine screw (note that the nut should be prevented from spinning by the slot in the acrylic).

Step 3: Insert 4 rubber feet into the holes in the bottom of the case
