Do:
- Film off both faces, 1 mm foam around the perimeter of the underside.
- Load eight clips, two screws per corner clip, fit four corners and four midspans as p.243 shows, drop the panel on and tighten.
Check
Panel flat with even margins, foam compressed evenly, the machine closed on five faces. All 4 mm clips used: 8 corner, 7 midspan.
Helper Wipes the top panel clean and holds one edge while you seat it.
What you're looking at
The top panel is clear polycarbonate again, but back on 1 mm foam and 4 mm clips like the back panel, because the gantry never comes near it. Fitting it closes the machine on five faces and is what lets the chamber hold heat.
