     There are several parts to this design:
     - The inner frame to hold the pcb in place
     - The front frame to hold a sandwich of plexiglass, spacer and the pcb
-    - The plexiglass to protect and diffuse the leds. You may add car tint foil to the plexiglass to achieve a black look

     3. Insert the pcb, the spacers and the plexiglass
     4. Close the front frame

+    The inner frame and spacer should keep everything in place without the need for glue.
+    If you are using multiple modules,
+    you can add the layout parameters, so that the inner frame adjusts accordingly.
+
+    Please Note: if you are creating a large matrix build of multiple individual modules,
+    you need to enter absolut values across all modules for all parameters.
     Please cut the plane labeled "Plexiglass" out of plexiglass :)
     You can use a different thickness for the plexiglass, but make sure to adjust the settings accordingly.
