Do:

  1. Hang each front skirt on its T-nuts, belt-guard aperture over the front Z-drive pulley, and drive two M3×8 SHCS up from underneath.
  2. Snug them, back off a quarter turn, push both hard against the TFT module, then tighten.

check Check

Front run reads as one continuous band: skirt–module–skirt with equal, tight joints and a flush top rail. No daylight at the front Z-drive apertures.

helperHelper Holds each front skirt against the touchscreen module while you drive its screws.

What you're looking at

The front run is the most-looked-at part of a finished Voron: skirt, touchscreen module, skirt, reading as one continuous band. Snugging first and only then closing the joints is what makes the two seams disappear.
