Ultimate HDM Enclosure - Build thread

You may have seen this design on my other threads here and here. I started cutting metal and fabricating the frame… cheers, I hope you enjoy it.

Rusty sticks…






DISCLOSURE: I am an amateur welder, fabricator. I’m a half-baked / half-educated CAD designer.

Well your base is certainly not going to blow over. I see lots of work put into your enclosure.

Is there a reason why the HDM Nomad tubes are not evenly spaced, or was this a production issue for my unit? The CAD model has the same discrepancy though, so I doubt that.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Its definitely going to be a strong unit with plenty of mass to help reduce swaying. Pwncnc just launched a plug and play Masso g3 touch conversion that might be a good option. I will be ordering one to see if it’s any good.

I look forward to seeing how your setup turns out

Having a little fun…YES, I know the comparison is silly… the HDM is so cool, it deserves more attention.

After looking at the physical frame and thinking more about the design, I decided to go way back to an earlier design iteration and include a top frame for the base frame for the enclosure. This necessitated rebuilding the hopper, which is fun with lofts. sigh.

But, this will be easier. Better, perhaps. New part is in yellow.
