## Build Steps

1 - Remove all protective film. Be careful not to scratch the acrylic pieces. Check all pieces are included. Let us know if anything is missing.

2 - Place a 6mm Screw through the Base Piece, protruding up

3 - Screw a 10mm Standoff onto the protruding screw

4 - Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remaining holes on the base plate. Leave the 2 holes as shown empty. Screw these tight

{% hint style="info" %}
Optional Step - Steps 4-5 are for the feet.&#x20;

Skip these if you want to keep the keyboard at a 0 degree tilt.
{% endhint %}

4 - Add 4mm Screws to the last 2 holes facing down. Screw the 3mm standoffs onto the screws.

5 - Place the feet over the standoffs (Piece with larger holes placed closer to bottom plate) and use the remaining 4mm screws. **NOTE** - These won't have much thread so make sure to remove all protective layers first.&#x20;

5 - Place 3 x Middle Piece with USB cutout onto the protruding standoffs. Each layer will be slightly bigger than the lower layer

6 - Place 1 x Middle Piece closed onto the protruding standoffs.&#x20;

7 - Place the switch plate on top of the case so far. The plate should already have your switches and PCB installed. (Shown with some switches missing)

8 - Add the tops layers, and screw everything together using the 12mm screws

9 - Add feet to the bottom of the case. **Your case is now complete!**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides-mechboards.gitbook.io/guides/acrylic-guides/monorail-acrylic-case-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
