Thanks Dave,
I love your project chronicle. I came across it before I set out on mine. You're work is fantastic.
I love it when people are willing to have a go.
Your welcome to PM me.
My sheetmetal prowess is very limited and for a lot of it I took the approach of suck it and see. Mostly it was just an up-scaled version of what Nord had on the E3. I have access to a guillotine & folder so I just took my time and experimented. Modelled everything up in CAD made it easier to picture what the flat-panels needed to look like before fabrication.
The first version of the control panel cutouts were done on my cnc router and then many (many) hours with a file to square & de-burr the holes. The second version was lasercut, which is far better and a lot less time consuming.
Cheers.
