Just some miscellaneous notes for any dear reader, or more likely, my own forgetful self. | ||

## Removing Inset Panels | ||
|
||
As of v4.1 (or in v3), the top and bottom inset panels both insert into the frame, inside the frame "lip", meaning that | ||
when everything is put together, they create a flush surface (more or less). This can make them hard to get out, as you | ||
can't grab anything to get any leverage, and especially with v4.1, the plastic posts to aid the friction fit make it | ||
even harder to muscle out --- in fact, even if you could get an edge and start yanking, you'd probably just break some | ||
of the plastic. | ||
|
||
You can instead use the reverse side and the hex standoffs to push a panel out, as so: | ||
|
||
1. Loosen, or completely remove, the hex bolts for the panel you would like to remove. | ||
2. Flip the stick over, and remove the hex bolts on the opposite side. | ||
3. Screw in longer bolts, or anything else that'll fit into the hole without going flush against the panel. | ||
4. Push the long bolts in, thus pushing the standoffs, thus pushing the desired panel out from within. | ||
5. You may have to even get a mallet and tap on a bolt, occasionally, as everything can be *pretty* tight. |
