Looks good!!! A good thing to add at the bottom of enclosure is to have a bottom tray come out to get out debris(similar to dog cages with a matt underneath) it would be easier to clean.
Hey @winstonmoy, I've just ordered on of these AWESOME enclosures. Anshul was great and went above and beyond to adapt it to the V2-50 which has slightly different Right side clearance due to cabling coming off the spindle. He and his team caught this and let me know and worked to measure and adapt. Super excited. Do you have a rough guess as to how much sound isolation the enclosure provides?
Very nice. I'd want more room at either end of the PNC enclosure. For those times you need to get in the board compartment or attach something under the rotary table.
Starting to wish I built an enclosure for my router mill now that I am playing with milling aluminum. Still glad I buit in a water table that allows me to cut carbon fiber and wash all the waste into a filtration system for a dustless environment. Combining both into a case would be a bit more of a design challenge.
Nicely done! We need more young adults and kids working on real life problems. Just wondering if a Pocket NC is its money worth? Looking out to buy something like this. Regards, Etna.
The pocket nc is based on beaglebone black, right? Can't you plug a USB wifi and run it wireless? I am running an ESP8266 as a WiFi bridge on a SainSmart 3018, way more stable and convenient than the glitchy USB-serial.
If you're going to have an enclosure that integrates portability, why would you ever want an open tool holder? Either make it easily removable with it's own case, or just enclose the tool holder. An open tool holder while keeping the platform portable is just asking for tools to be damaged. Also, I know this is just an enclosure, but I'd personally integrate the machine into the enclosure as much as I could. Use panel-mount cables for interfacing from the outside to the inside; these are basically just short extensions that have flanges to mount the ports flush with a panel, it reduces the need for slit gaskets that could allow chips to fly out and for dust to find it's way into the machine. Next I would relocate the buttons to the enclosure itself, with a secondary switch on the lid for pause/start; maybe even try to find a way to modularize the button setup, so if the machine ever needs relocating to an open space, you can just unplug one button solution and plug in another button solution. Other than those, I'd also beef up the enclosure a bit, at least gusseting along the edges and more secure handles, as now the enclosure _and_ machine are a single portable unit. Along with the enclosed tool holder. Though, if I wanted an enclosed 5axis, I'd probably go with a different platform. PocketNC is just too small for anything I'd want to do, and while the collet holder as work holding is a neat idea, it does waste quite a bit of stock. MachineSuits are fine as auxiliary enclosures. I just believe that if you're going to enclose the machine, you might as well integrate the two pieces fully, rather than the enclosure be a glorified box the machine sits in. Look at industrial and commercial machines, their enclosures are fully integrated into their machine's platform, not a separate entity, and that should translate to what we do with hobby machines, for both safety and functionality. I honestly find it ridiculous that the hobby level machines, as a majority, do not come with enclosures, and that those enclosures are never properly fully integrated, as hobbyists are going to be the most prone to accidents with an open machine, mostly due to inexperience and no proper training; hobbyist safety should be on par, if not better, than workplace safety measures that professional machines have. Again, MachineSuits are a fine piece of kit, and other enclosures may be as well, but none of these match my personal beliefs of what a product should actually be doing with integration and safety; even PocketNC's own enclosure butting the edge of the machine to the edge of the enclosure to have button access isn't up to par with what I believe integration should be, it's lazy work on their part. If I'm enclosing a machine, it should be part of the machine, not a box the machine fits in, with professional levels of integration and safety. Every port and button needs outside access, not interior access. The door needs a switch to immediately pause the machine if open, only allowing for jog functions when open. Relying on a power strip to be your emergency off switch is just asking for problems.
Looking at Anshul's sunglasses made me feel old. I'll never be that cool to pull those off.
I didn't think they looked cool, but am getting old too
@@harrisonofthenorth I wouldn't hold his fashion sense against him lol
Anthony Harrison ok boomer
It makes him seem like a really smart guy that also likes keg stands and the party life

how about to pricing?
Thing thing is a work of art! Now to buy a pocket NC...

Ingenious.
professional work~ graet!!
Looks great 👍🏾

Outstanding.
Why does fusion have inverse perspective? The 3d models look weird because of that
Just put it in one of those Dole banana boxes. =P
hows the noise reduction performance
does onshape do tangent to splines and ellipses in sketches natively?
that's really bugging me in fusion
It certainly does!
@@jaelenhsu that's cool xd
the guys seem nice but please take of the sunglasses next time
Can someone spot 9k real quick? 😂

YES
aaay, Hightide!

Nice video, what a beauty of an enclosure. Great summary about Onshape, smart dudes. Mahalo for sharing! : )
