`Intro`

I wanted the hot air coming off the stepper motors to be able to escape the base.
I added 3mm holes in a grid pattern to achieve this.

`Instructions`

The DXF file is uploaded for straight cutting.

There are 3 drill jigs for those who have already cut their panels.
use the M3 mounting hole and screw to fasten the drill jigs into place with an M3 washer and nut on the other side.
Use an 3mm drill bit to drill the holes. Recommend drilling onto a piece of scrap wood to not crack the acrylic.

Drill Jigs must be in this orientation
