Just did a test run of the serial # engraving and slightly modified hole pattern (moved a few things by a few mm :) ), and all is good.
Tonight on the list is:
- engrave the serial #'s
- mill and tap the mounting hole patterns
- mount the stand-offs
- re-assemble and screw together without...
First one wired and running (on my assembly base, but plates and electronics just get transferred to the final unit "as-is").
All the electronics assembly went well with no hiccups this time :) ... everything works as expected and pleased with the new speakers and relays :)
All the milling is complete (apart from the engraving on 3 of them)
Will be doing final engraving and the fit of the plates in the last 3 boxes tomorrow, then will be removing the plates/electronics for finishing.
Next moving on to the electronics build; hopefully building these as a batch...
I love my v2 wattage only ESCC and am patiently waiting for a TC one.
so far the v2 escc is everything I hoped for; it installs easily and clips can be reused without cleaning. The latest zirconia solved all the problems with movement while cleaning and thus resultant issues with resistance...
Done the CAD drawings and updated machine paths for the face plates and slots for my new CNC (the workbee I purchased after building the last 2 units)
machining plates now takes 6-7 min instead of almost an hour :) (+a little hand filing for corners)
Boxes complete apart from sanding/finishing and CNC work now …
all fasteners installed (including drilling the 144 holes!) and box joints cleaned up on the router table.
next step will be machining the aluminum plates and slots in the boxes for them.
I really like the funnel :) Can just dump an appropriate amount out of a doob tube into it quite easily for on-the-go. Here’s my on-the-go kit with a couple cut down to length doob tubes :)
quick question ... how does one go about removing/replacing the screen? Do you just poke it out? and then push in a new one (or push the existing one back in if in ok shape)
Edit: Never mind ... found it :)

Thanks...
A bunch of boards milled down to 3/8” for the enclosures (This should be enough for 8-10 boxes I expect depending how much waste there is with knots and splits). Hope to have time to cut to size and cut box joints tomorrow.
Just thought I'd post a quick update; I'm in the shop right now planing the wood for the enclosures ... should be some pictures of progress in the next few days--sorry about the additional ~1 month delay, but life happens :)
Mine has extra o-rings and the silicone piece, but no extra glass adapter tube.
I have an extra hula stem (as I ordered an extra), but the little glass stem I’m more concerned about breaking.
Received today, and had my 2 first bowls, and wow! What a great device! Hits really hard and smooth, with huge clouds and nice even ABV. Both bowls I finished in a single large hit. No learning curve at all :)
Only regret is I wish I had ordered an extra "Glass Adapter Tube" as I for some...
