Did you get that finish off the bat? I need your mould making wizardry skills.
My first crack was a learning experience. Should have definitely spent more time on the mould. Another sand and some high build and flat black I’ll get a decent finish but I wish it didn’t look like an upside down baking tin 
Got a few laughs for this but the idea was to shape the mould to the deck with the lokton tape which worked, but I then realised the deck was pretty flat anyway
Anyone able to design a cool STL for a printed mould maybe?
Its solid as hell, not feeling the look but learnt a lot for next time.
Will have another go once I get this thing running.

Mine came out of a female mold, so the process is a little different.
The photo above is after a quick wetsand and paint, but nothing strenuous, thats pretty much how it came out of the mold
Using a timber mould?
The female mold was fibreglass, the original male buck was MDF iirc

I wondered why i couldn’t find my wolfshark enclosure project here, I knew I had documented it somewhere.

Just had a read through that and it’s a great resource for enclosure building. Would be good if you could copy it over to here?
On a side note, one thing i think is missing from this forum is a central wiki with everything to hand. There is so much knoweldge and expertise dotted about but it’s hard to find the information you need without digging and asking questions which can be intimidating for newcomers.

That sounds like way too much work
Also too much work

First attempt so be kind. Custom enclosure and heatsink that I made for a deck swapped BKB duo.
You can see it’s already had it’s official first scar.
This is a dual stack I also made to re-use an existing 10S3P and I also made a single stack enclosure which I’ll be switching to when I get an upgraded battery at some point.

That’s fucking mint for a first attempt! Well done! Is it fibreglass?

Thank you, this is very high praise coming from you Al. I’m very humbled by your skills and actually went through your tutorial before attempting this as I was very intimidated at first as it was my first time working with fiberglass also.
