So I built the machine and it works great. While I built the machine I found a slight fix to the system, emphasis on slight.

For non-emc items I used glass panels, not only are they cheap but have a nice aesthetic, I made 1.5 stacks of glass panes and had little leftovers. I suggest arranging the panes to fill the whole chest, then remove 2 panes 3 panes away from the sides and 5 panes apart from each other. The chest filled with the non-emc items should be the chest that is sticking out.

The filters are finicky, try to match the exact image the wiki displayed, in order to have the elevated filter obey, dig 1 block under or next to the pipe that would fit the filter so that the filter can be placed from below.

Instead of the extra unknown parts shown in the image (the ones connected to the macerator) I suggest using a generator because it is cheap and easy to refuel with your new emc generator.

It does take some time for the macerator to start producing bone meal that goes inside the desired chest, if you're impatient just stack the chest next to the filter with a stack of bone meal and bones (doesn't have to be a stack) to allow the generator to have a running start. *The generator will only start to provide emc for the chest sticking out if the "bone" chest is filled with bone meal.*

Another idea would be to hook up a chest full of coal to the generator providing energy to the macerator to allow longer periods of idle.
