Awesome project! Added an enclosure to keep the dust and noise down, plus I just like it when things are self contained haha. The front door swings up to add and remove work, and for minor maintenance. The latches on the sides can be opened and then the whole thing swings apart in a clam shell fashion to allow easy access to the whole machine. Planning on adding a swing away lcd and spindle speed control to the left side of the box where the stepper wires exit right now.
Everything went together very easily and it works well. Only issue I'm fiddling with right now is the center carriage being just slightly out of square (going to try reprinting a couple parts and see if that sorts it out.)
