After you hand tighten those small heat-sink bolts to the side of your case, you could use an angle grinder to shave/cut a flat spot tab on the ends of the bolts to be able to hold the bolt with needle nose pliers and still tighten that nut down without having to rely on epoxy for the future.
They're really useful for stuff like this. That said, they can be pretty tedious. My suggestion, if you get one, is to spend a little more and get something with a few premium features like auto-leveling, upgraded servos (that are quiet), and aluminum (vs plastic) components for the extruder and other parts. Makes a huge difference and if you go cheap, youll eventually be forced to make those upgrades anyway or buy a new printer. Ive had really good experience with the Creality CR6SE - nearly ZERO maintenance - but you do have to make sure you assemble it well
Epic design. My only concern is the potential entry of water/moisture through the fan opening.

Nice work. For some reason both of your Aliexpress links in the description give 404 errors.

Im interested in some of the parts you used. Do you have a parts list??
I updated the description with links to the components and a link to another video where I describe the function in more detail
