Yes - it's a cheap heatbox but it does the job.

Rubber grommet removed and dessicant heater sharing the same
removed void of foam with the camera?

thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes that's fine. I also remove the nosepiece and have a thin piece of mesh in front of the hole so the camera breathes. Side plug off, all the time when stored. Keep your sensor super clean. Slightest grease, finger print will ice up. It's glass you won't hurt it. Spray some alcohol on a wipe then one swipe across the length - that's all.

As Clive said I also blowdry it when assembling and that's it. No worries. Ever.
