This is not a question but rather a detailed guide on how to bend a Plexiglas coverplate for a housingcover in multiple steps. The text describes each step with images and notes on precautions to be taken during the process. Here are the 47 steps: 1-2: Describe the materials needed, including screws, adhesive tape, and a bending gauge. 3-4: Explain how to prepare the endstops and place them at the correct distance. 5-6: Show how to put the flat surface of the two bending gauges together and lock them with wedge-shaped clamps. 7-8: Describe how to place the housingcover on a table, prop up the coverplate, and fix it to the edge of the table. 9-10: Explain how to use the bending gauge in the first curve of the frontrails. 11-12: Describe how to heat up the coverplate with a heat gun, starting at the end of the curve nearest the screw connection. 13-14: Show how to mark and countersink borings at slanted 45° faces of the frontrails. 15-16: Explain how to drill borings in the coverplate and fix it to the frontrails with screws and screw nuts. 17-18: Describe how to put the bending gauge in the second curve of the frontrails and heat up the coverplate. 19-20: Show how to mark and countersink borings at the top side of the frontrails and cornerrails. 21-22: Explain how to drill borings in the coverplate and fix it to the top side of the housingcover with screws and screw nuts. 23-24: Describe how to place the housingcover on its base, put the bending gauge to the upper back corner, and heat up the coverplate. 25-26: Show how to mark and countersink borings at the back side of the housingcover. 27-28: Explain how to drill borings in the coverplate and fix it to the back side of the housingcover with screws and screw nuts. 29-30: Describe how to place the housingcover on its front side, put the bending gauge to the lower back corner, and heat up the coverplate. 31-32: Show how to mark and countersink borings at the bottom of the housingcover. 33-34: Explain how to drill borings in the coverplate and fix it to the bottom of the housingcover with screws and screw nuts. The guide concludes by noting that if the coverplate isn't heated up evenly, it may develop small bulges on its outer sides. To prevent this, a baby radiant heater can be used instead of a heat gun.
