minus-squaremaximumbird@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 days agoThis makes the most sense to me. It’s sheet metal, so if any cut is not done with a properly designed blade, or sharp enough it’s gonna come out in an irreversibly bent and burred condition. It would make it quite hard to replace the “hole” with an acrylic panel.
