Chamber heating slowed down by the... camera

First print with ABS, waiting for the chamber heat up was noticeably longer than expected - closing all holes, vent on the back, sealing top panel with something heavy so it is pressed to the enclosure and closed the top vent grill.

Well, apparently you cannot fully close the top vent grill because the corner of the moving part is hitting the case of the camera in the corner - see pictures.

Should be fixable with a new camera design or few mm distance from the top, so I suspect 6x2 mm magnets ( typical gridfinity) could work in here.

Any camera reseatings were insufficient, I had to cut down one corner of the camera to fix it.

You can reprint camrea enclosure if you fail, so use filer to remove about 2mm of camera enclosure.

I chose to grind the grille down.

Also cutting the panel may be more prone to cracks.
