What you're looking at
The cartridge is the removable box for the activated carbon: 4 mm acid-free pellets, which are not in the kit. Filled or empty, it has to be closed and fitted, or the plenum just stirs the chamber.
Caution
Media not in the kit. LDO: "NOT INCLUDED WITH THE KIT", acid-free pellets recommended. The Nevermore project warns that acid-residue carbon corrodes rails and switches: buy only vetted acid-free carbon. An empty, closed cartridge is fine until then; the filter still installs and wires. src
Good stopping point · ~20 min since the last one
plenum and cartridge magnets glued in matching polarity, both lids closed, the cartridge's fill state written on its lid. Never stop between gluing the plenum magnets and the cartridge magnets: the second set has to be matched to the first while you still know which way round they went.
