Sketched out the bottom panel for the radiator in Fusion 360 and cut the panel out on my CNC plasma. All was going great until the plasma decided to trip out and no matter what I tried it would not reset.
So I had to hook up the new plasma on a temporary supply, which was, erm, lets say a little interesting. Cable was definitely under-sized and it definitely got a bit warm. Wiring up the new plasma is one of those jobs that's been on the to-do list for at least 12 months, along with upgrading the X-Y motion. But as with all things, something else always seems to get in the way. Such is life.
So I finally managed to cut the part out. It has a bit of a gnarly bit where the old plasma tripped and I had to re-run the job to continue on, but nothing that cannot be cleaned up with a little time.
I need to add more of a bend into it as it does not follow the shape of the top part of the surround, but to do this I'll need to move the blower forwards (It's only tacked in place).
Also managed to find some cheaper grille mesh. It's not quite as chunky as the other stuff I found but is a little more palatable price-wise. Just need to order it.
