What you're looking at

Clicky-Clack is the magnetic-latch front door: a 2020 aluminium frame around one clear acrylic panel. The two shorter extrusions have tapped ends; the longer two have access holes for the blind-joint screws.

Caution

You are using the plain acrylic panel from Fabreeko, not the NanoNest stack the KB3D guide illustrates. Skip the KB3D guide's NanoNest taping section entirely; the panel goes straight into the frame slot. src

tip Tip

hinges go on the left seen from the front, latch on the right. Mirror every left and right in 11.57 and 11.62–11.64 to reverse the swing.
