How to clean the Mac Studio from dust?

[TzunamiOSX]

Since one inevitable day, the Studio will need to be opened to be properly cleaned, what are your plans, doing it yourselves or taking them to the apple store or a shop for someone else to do it for you?

Do it by my own, but I have a electrical engineering training. Only assembly the foot ring is a problem, I would sink.

So, I got to some deep Workspace cleaning this morning.

My M2 Max has been sitting upon a severely-neglected LD202.

I have two Quats in the house (among other Elemental considerations).

This is what I observed, today:

This is what the Studio showed:

I VTF (Vacuumed The Fur) out of both the stand, and the Studio (Herself (I even daubed-off the coffee-splatters off of Her beautiful face))!

iStat commended me on my efforts:

When it comes to Attentive Maintennance, every little bit counts, right?

It’s quite a flimsy thing and even though the box was sealed, it came with a few marks on it. But then, it’s very cheap.

Comes with a total of 3 sponge filters, not sure if they consider them a consumable, or where to buy more from. The sponge filters are very thin and delicate but I think that could be a good thing.

It’s also a bit annoying that the Mac Studio doesn’t lock into place onto the stand, it can easily slip off, unlike the Spigen which I believe uses the Kensington lock slot to hold the Mac, though the Mac Studio Ultra is very heavy. The machine does sit flush without the gap that many Spigen owners seem to report.

But ultimately I think it should do its job for the foreseeable future and from a distance it looks decent (see attached)!

Since installing this, I have not seen any dust on the bottom of the Mac. I don't really see any on the filter, either. Weird!

I'm still using the same 'filter' sponge that it came with, though I have two spare. I might change it just as a precaution.
