Strong, fast to print, and modular enclosure for a simple lab power supply (More pics in body)

The box is not printed as a single piece, but 6 modular plates joined with dovetail joints. Individual plates are relatively flimsy, but once assembled the box is rock solid.
This way, it is much faster to print, and is stronger since the layer lines are protected. It also let me experiment with infill for some cool effects.
Closer look at the top pattern
Front pattern
You can't see from the images, but each plate is printed without top layers, which make it even faster to print and use even less filament, compared to a vertical wall of the same weight.
The back
Gyroid air vent
This is only a prototype, you can see there are no wiring inside. The artifacts are because I print at 150m/s and 5k acceleration, on a bed slinger.
