| Does anybody know if the louvres are removable? | |

| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2024-11-10 06:11:56 I don't know. If they are though, remember that that plastic may be brittle and may easily break while trying to remove them. This is surely something that can be replaced by means of a 3D printer but then colour-matching becomes something to think long and hard about. | |
Posted by: mst3k on 2024-11-10 07:20:29Are these removable?Yes. But be careful. Then be careful some more... | |
| Posted by: Joopmac on 2024-11-10 08:10:20 Thanks🙂 Are these glued? | |
| Posted by: mst3k on 2024-11-10 09:57:46 There is a notch visible at the front from underneath that seems to be glued and some residual adhesive on the two sides. I removed mine by accidentally dropping the back case on the floor. It hit the carpet and the louvre popped out. This is not the approved method I am sure. 🙂 They appear to be wedged in with minimum adhesion but are no doubt fragile. I haven’t tried to intentionally remove one but I’ve seen 3D printed replacements on the world wide interweb. | |

| Posted by: mst3k on 2024-11-10 18:52:15 I find this disturbing and amusing at the same time… 🙂 | |
