Enclosure works

[Dave SParticipant @daves59043]

Finished the enclosure on my diy CNC.

Also managed to get the flood coolant running. Think I could make a better nozzle set – so it’s coming in from multiple angles.
Ran a nominal “watch case shaped” object yesterday. There is a small leak somewhere in the return lines, but generally the enclosure works to contain the man glitter 🙂

Part came out as expected:

The Freeform shape would have been a nightmare to make on a manual machine

With the flood coolant an enclosure is really the only way to go.

Part looks good so far

Which Bigdug unit is your mill mounted on Dave? Looks a useful size for a project I have in mind.

The receipt says “Essentials Tool Trolley and Side Tray | 1050h x 763w x 488d mm | 5 Drawer | Grey & Blue” but they don’t seem to list it any more. Closest seems to be this one: https://www.bigdug.co.uk/bigdug-essentials-tool-trolley/v/BDTC326GB_1/

I have the drawers out whilst checking the flood for leaks…
