Hi Brandon and team,

I would be great if you could post the designs of the fan spacers as well as that for laser cutting a protection over the full set of smart sleeves !

Thanks !

Damien

@bgwong Do you have updated files for these parts, and for the plate that attaches to the base? The old links give a 404 error unfortunately

Another important way to protect the eVOLVER Smart Sleeves and other hardware from fluids (specifically overflow events) is emergency efflux. Check out [this](https://khalil-lab.gitbook.io/evolver/upgrade-base-evolver-hardware) wiki page for more info.
