    Be very careful with the upper right side panel; it is NOT symmetrical. One of the prongs in the lower corner is longer than the other and the longer prong must go to the rear of the printer. Reversing this panel by mistake will play havoc with the belts. Ask me how I know.

  11. Install the handles as shown: Upper Handle Lower Handle

    • Upper Handle

    • M3x16mm Counter Sunk Bolt

    • M3x12x5mm Magnet

    • M3 Nyloc Nut

    • When done cover the four magnets with an EVA foam sticker.

    You should note that yellow refers to M3x12 bolts. Also, I found that the door latches do not extend far enough to the doors. We had to insert two washers between each magnet and the door and not use the foam stickers for the doors to stay closed

Could some of the other printed parts be uploaded to the github? I already broke my door hinges.
