having to glue the nuts in is awful.
I think an improved design would be to just make the lid snap in (rather than being screwed down), like in the original design.

Here is the current design:

If you letter these pieces row-wise (A, B, C on first row, then D, E, F, G on second row), then the only pieces that would need to change are D/E, F, and C/G. We'd first need to make both D/E and C/G higher, and then add two more rectangle slots in D/E (as close to the top as the bottom slots are to the bottom) for the lid. Then we'd just give F the exact shape as B, and remove the four screw holes. Not a big change.

This would be giving up the existence of a top plate, which definitely looks nice. But in this new design we could screw the Trellis board into A and tighten the screws ourselves, before assembling anything else.

Oh, also, I think I did print some ends WITHOUT feet. Does this work better?

Also just a note that the current lettering on the top are 0.08" high, which is apparently basically the minimum. And it may only look good on acrylic, not wood (which is fine).
