***What***
Ventilated and self-locking box for home-made TL smoothers.

The commonly used drv8825 driver can be missing steps resulting in "salmon skin". [Not to be mistaken for ghosting/ringing and other mechanical noise].
A stepper smoother / TL smoother fixes this by adding resistance (in this case by the use of diodes) to the motor, smoothing out the current. I'm no electrician but this article explains it in detail and how you can make your own:
