| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking. | Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or routers to achieve clean, precise edges. |
| Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture. | Utilize washers and apply even, moderate torque to all fasteners, allowing for thermal expansion. |
