I have ordered and assembled 2 different enclosures from Modushop. I have mixed results with both. First, I want to say that I'm not slamming these enclosures I'm actually quite thankful they are available. It does seem like there is some issues with QC from the manufacturer though. Most of the issues are simple fastener issues. My first 1U preamp enclosure uses countersunk style fasteners that are fitted to non-countersunk holes. This looks like an afterthought bc the heads stick up above the level of the enclosure.
The second 2U passante was purchased with the subfloor option. First it is not as stout as I expected. Anything halfway substantial mounted to it will cause it to bow. But the biggest issue is that the wrong fastener size was sent for the top and bottom plates for mounting. It calls out #8 screws on the instruction sheet but they sent #6, so none of the screws tighten up they just spin. So now I have to go out and get my own screws. Just my two cents.

Hi feel free to send me a message with your address and I'll be happy to send you some replacements 🙂
FWIW I just got a 3U Pesante and I had no issues. But I did not buy the subfloor. To be honest, I could not believe that the case with custom CNC machined front panel was manufactured in Italy and arrived at my house in Australia within 7 business days.
If the supplied fasteners were wrong (and I thought the enclosures were all metric, like the rest of the world),
that is not quality control but a simple error. And it sounds like your subfloor needs more spacers for support.

I'm more than a little surprised that Modushop even has Imperial sized fasteners. And I'm also surprised that anyone could find the "subfloors" not particularly stout -- I've seen little to no deformation when using 400 to 1,000 watt toroids in my F6, Wolverine and F5 Turbo builds. Just how much weight are we talking about?
I too have issues with the self tapping screws on the top cover (of the pessante). The holes in the side panels seem to be too big. Such a pity as the finishing of all the components overall is pretty nice. For the other panels I’ve used aluminum rivets to get a bit more stiffness out of the build.
I’ll probably find a solution one way or another but still it is a bit silly.

Yes, we had some problems with the screws for the Pesante chassis some time ago due to the fact our supplier could not produce them.
Now everything should be fixed
