Has anyone removed the side panels on their FFCP for better viewing and ventilation of heat?
The right hand was fine but the left has the limit switch attached to it. I'll figure something out but wondered what you guys may have done.

Nope, only view I need is from the front. lol
Odd that they moved the switch to the cover, the older machines weren't like that. But shouldn't be hard to fix.

I removed mine for printing PLA. Facing the machine I have no limit switch on the left, only on the right and that is mounted on the x-end carriage not on the panel. And the z-limit and y-limit switches are mounted on the back panel for my machine (FFCP Feb 2015). So the panels came off easily and it was suggested to do that on a yellow sticker on the machine.

I need to look more into how switches were mounted for previous version or another brand and get something working. So far not to big a deal having the left panel on.
