The illuminated orbital shaker requires an elevated transparent platform. This platform is made from a clear acrylic sheet by mechanical machining or laser cutting. Detailed up-to-date instructions for cutting and drilling the clear acrylic sheet are in the are in the <a href="https://app.labstep.com/sharelink/935f8eef-e367-4290-906d-2d27494a80c6">Labstep repository</a>. The publication snapshot of the protocol is <a href="https://osf.io/2nkbp/">available in OSF</a>. The clear acrylic sheet designed for the KJ-201BD orbital shaker has been modeled in Onshape CAD suite. The model, its technical drawing, and DXF file for optional laser cutting are available in the Onshape <a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6e8168125917f536e49b97f0/w/850d8af207ac1bb7fb7fb177/e/c75d655e7df171cc2cb773bf">Orbital Shaker Platform</a> project. The DXF files for optional laser cutting of the clear acrylic sheet are also <a href="https://osf.io/qwh6t/">available in OSF</a>. @[osf](2nkbp)
