I can't get the correct creamic terminal to conect the lamps , so I use crocodiles until I get it

Aluminium frame and panels on MDF

Elements

Construccion

Mounted on MDF

Test

Picture of the heater near the vaccum box ( there is no secrets there , is just a MDF box with 2 holes for 2 vacuum's and A LOT of small holes at the top panel )

Test video (sorry for the bad quality and the lack of edition) , turn down the speaker volume before I turn on the vacuum

What?! That's insane!

After a lot of fails , material and different process test`s , finally I get some good results.

Stop wood work and try something else

Real use of the wood pieces , vaccum forming

cut of the single pieces

I choose to make the pieces one-by-one because all of the fail was trying to make entire panels , it can be done , but I don't like the quality of the results

Preview , I hope to get better quality in the final pieces

To make this pieces , I have to build my own home-made vacuum forming machine , that explain the lack of updates

Drawing

Cut

Edges cut in angle

Finish using rotary tool and sand paper by hand

Some pictures in different points of view of a case-top preview

Very nice!

Do you think the MDF will rise the internal temperature of the cabinet?

Thanks , The cabinet will have two 12cm fans at the top taking out the hot air , 2 in the side panel and 1 more in the front blowing fresh air inside , temperatures will not be a problem.

MDF will not affect the final result , as you will see later

Do you think the MDF will rise the internal temperature of the cabinet?

Pieces glued in place

I worked on them to make the edges rounded

All the pieces together , this is for the fans of the top of the case

Same for the side panel

Complete side panel preview , with this new pieces , I can have 3 different highs , to make it look less flat than before
