Loud and Messy Robot Gets Fancy Box | DIY CNC Enclosure

We made a DIY CNC enclosure for our Shapeoko XL.

Our garage workshop space is generally limited, the home for the Shapeoko is in our extra bedroom/office. So to keep the dust relatively contained and the noise minimal we designed a simple enclosure for the CNC.

The original design we created had a wide framed door that lifted up and into a pocket at the top of the enclosure.

Since our woodworking skills are mediocre at best, we failed to execute this design and tackled a more novice route. But we have a free Fusion 360 file for those of you who want to try it out.

You can modify the dimensions to fit a larger or smaller Shapeoko, X Carve, or another CNC router.

Great to see another vid from you guys. This looks handy! And LED strip adhesive is the worst.

I'm building a very similar box, and the piano hinge latch is a great idea so I will steal it :) Thank you!

Very cool project and video! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with on the CNC!

[AutomotiveAnatomy]

I dig the creativity!! You guys are a great team :)

This is really well done; both the project and the video. The thumbnail for this one made me laugh and I loved the joint voiceover. I'm curious to hear how you like the Shapeoko also once you get using it

Pretty soon you'll be speaking WinstonMoy-ese. : ) Can't wait to see how you use it. Great video, like the tag team narration. Mahalo for sharing! : )

It looks like a good start! And I don't know why they even bother putting that terrible "adhesive" strip on the back of LED strips!

Some carpet on the walls would help to solve the noise ;)

Thank you for this video! If I may ask, what is that black putty you used to secure the plexiglass to the doors? Thanks!
