These are alternate side, front, and back wall panels with a slider that opens and closes large vents in the riser walls to simulate printing with the lid up. I grow tired of finding the vented/unvented panels and replacing them when switching between materials that need venting, like PLA, and those that don't want it (for chamber temperature retention), like ASA and ABS. 

These wall panels allow you to leave them in place and simply slide a panel to the left to create large, open vents in the front and side panels, or to the right to close the vents. 

No finding the other set of panels. No replacement of panels. Just grab the tab and slide to one end or the other for each panel. 

I printed them in PETG, which holds up better in the chamber temps I target for printing ASA and ABS. I would recommend against using PLA for this print because the glass transition temperature of around 60°C means you could get some deformation of the panels.
