  1. Bring enclosure frame and panels to the machine shop

  2. Grab 3M structural epoxy from underneath chemical cabinet (20 minute shell life)

  3. Clamping bottom panel: put something heavy (with one object towards the middle that does NOT move) to keep it more steady

  4. Clamping width pieces: should be straight forward because there are holes in the fibre-glass due to vent + fan holders

  5. Clamping length pieces: ~3.5cm from the top of the steel frame to the top of the fibre-glass. Grab the metal clamps from the drawer in the bay and clamp the top. To ensure the bottom is flush grab something heavy and place along the bottom and sides

  6. Wait for epoxy to dry

...

  1. Apply epoxy, and put something heavy on the edges to weigh the panel down

  2. Finish machining fixtures on the lid of the enclosure for impounding (ask Shem for status on that)

NOTE:

Things to think about:

  • have a partial 3D printed baffle with length 15mm instead of 5mm to make sure holes align at the right spots for baffle

  • assemble all 4 side panels first so you can clamp from the bottom BEFORE gluing in the bottom piece and weighing it down with books/something heavy

  • flip the enclosure upside-down when gluing the side lid panels so gravity can due its work. Q: how to make sure this lines up correctly?
