Hey everybody…
I finally have my machine running, just going through the motions of getting it dialed in. I thought I’d share some pics of my enclosure… it’s 18mm plywood, with fireproof acoustic foam baffling, the Inventables/Fein dust extraction system (with a cyclone bucket added for longer dust extractor filter life), LED lighting, and a switchboard to run the controller, spindle, dust extractor on/off, etc… It’s super quiet!
I also made a peltier cooling system to blow cold air into the spindle (with dedicated programmable thermostats for both the intake fan, outlet fan, and the peltier itself), but so far I haven’t needed it, so I’ll hold off installation of that until I have run the machine all day with the door closed and logged the temperatures.
Hope whatever project you’re working on is turning out right!
