Haven't been here for a long time, but man, this project is looking incredibly awesome so far, thanks to Patrick & gang who put in the hard work! And thanks to Papa for approving too!!
Go go go team!! 🙂

Beauty. I like what I see.
Does the group buy for the heat sinks include the ones for the rectify diodes and regulators?

Truly impressive engineering and fabrication....!
I can't wait to warm up the soldering iron.......
Very nicely done, Patrick et al..............!

An update perhaps on the front panel "defect" -- though it is more an imperfection.
The second panel has been anodised and showed the same artifact, though much less visible.
(I would have accepted it as is for my own use, bearing in mind the reject costs.)
We have now ordered new material and remachine a new front panel to see if the problem still exists.
This may take some time before we can conclude where the problem lies.
In the worst case situation, all 28 front panels have to be done anew.

Patrick,
You really strive for perfection!
I'm so happy to be a client - and not a materials supplier🙂
Cheers,
Nic

30 front panels cost a lot of money (my cost, not the material supplier).
But my reputation is worth more.
The "defect" is actually visible in the first photo of post #494.
See who can spot it.

Well spotted.
But both missed a second line on the left.
😉
It is only visible at a certain angle, and hence not on all photos.

EUVL,
I had noticed it before, but thought it might just have been the image.
Any possibility it's an artifact from the milling process?

Patrick,
How thick is the front panel? It looks like 2-3 cm.
I imagine the control PCB will be mounted flush on the inside. Will the components be facing outwards (i.e. embedded in the machined groove)?

The components are inside the pocket on the rear side of the front panel, which is 15mm thick.
