Great price on that Lexan, wow! I got a good deal on the mill though. This thing cost me $5 ($500 originally, but I sold unwanted control parts for $495).
Re: silicone glue, thanks. There is more or less no stress when the enclosure just sits there. I wanted the adhesive to be the strongest possible, since there will be quite a bit of stress when I take the enclosure off the table. I will actually glue 1x1" square tubing made of the same material, into the corners, to reinforce them. i On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 6:52 AM, Mark Wendt <[email protected]> wrote: > On 04/05/2011 07:15 AM, Igor Chudov wrote: > >> What, you don't want coolant splatters all over the walls and stuff? > >> ;-) I made up a dust collector hood out of lexan for my machine out of > >> 3/8" sheet.
