It is held together completely by the joint. These dovetail joint are known to be very strong reliable.
The interface module which do everything is just the cheapest one I found locally. It called a buck boost module but that doesn't really narrow it down. Other than that it's just 2 binding posts and whatever supply you want. I used a barrel jack plug to reuse my old laptop charger.
That's the neat thing! If passive convection can't do the job, I just have to print a new top plate with fan mount.
Not everyone cup-of-tea, but build123d/cadquery is pretty good if you like programming. I used it to make some dovetails joint which would be annoying to do with gui cad.
This is only a prototype, you can see there are no wiring inside. The artifacts are because I print at 150m/s and 5k acceleration, on a bed slinger.

The box is not printed as a single piece, but 6 modular plates joined with dovetail joints. Individual plates are relatively flimsy, but once assembled the box is rock solid.
This way, it is much faster to print, and is stronger since the layer lines are protected. It also let me experiment with infill for some cool effects.
Closer look at the top pattern
Front pattern
You can't see from the images, but each plate is printed without top layers, which make it even faster to print and use even less filament, compared to a vertical wall of the same weight.
The back
Gyroid air vent
While these changes will eventually happen, as all of these companies are meant to make a profit from the start. The reason they're all happening now is because of the coming recession, or at least the believe that it will come.
I have a bltouch clone which work fine on glass bed. After switching to textured PEI sheet, it's variance trippled to 0.1mm, which make my bed mesh all wobbly.
I'm I suppose to remove the steel plate when making the bed mesh? Do you home Z with a probe with this setup?
The weirdest thing is, despite all this all my prints adhere completely fine. I guess PEI is just that good.
