Nomad and SO3: Custom Enclosures (the enclosure zoo)

Thanks! I’m very please with how it turned out!

You should be! Very nice work!

Yes, so the vacuum connector is to create negative pressure inside the enclosure so any airborn dust trying to escape through any gaps.

Gotcha. With a HEPA filter on the vacuum you’ll be plenty safe. With a cyclone added, your HEPA filters will last much longer.

Any plans to modify the vacuum port on the inside and use tubing to go to a dust head? If so, the cyclone becomes almost a necessity (the volume of particles goes way up and they include the big/visible ones)

See here:

Another has come up with a Dewalt top plate for a dust head.

There is a thin gap between the top of the doors and the frame to aid this process so there is air flowing into the enclosure keeping the dust in. Seems to work so far!

Ah! It wasn’t obvious from the pictures where the inlet ports were. No whistle or uncomfortable noise then?

And yes the LEDs do change colour but I have them set at a slight bluey shade of white, I think it makes it look cool haha

… and they accuse me of being over the top! :joy:

WAY COOL! A design suitable for all moods and peoples! :joy:
