Thanks for the tips guys! I'll try them out in the meantime!
The basic 3d designs are complete for the enclosure, got the wood needed (1/4 inch ply, 1/2 inch ply for the bottom, 1/2 square dowel for the frame) total so far $75 total.
Plexiglass front is going to be very pricey so I'm thinking of using real glass perhaps surrounded in a wooden frame. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this!
Here's some photos of the progress so far! Still have to work on the door and then I'll be all set!

Looking good!
Great thinking to have to bottom hinge too!
Thanks guys! Yeah the bottom hinge is going to make it really easy to access everything during maintenance. The idea came about when making the cardboard prototype and forgetting to tape the bottom to the front ;)
Really liking the looks of that! Awesome job so far!!
What do you guys think of this? I don't have a printer yet so wanted your thoughts. Not sure how many spools it would take to print all of this, any estimates?

My main comment is that I learned early in my printer days to avoid Thingiverse listings that don't include pictures of actual printed items. Too many people out there pushing out untested designs... That's a pretty ambitious project for the guy's first and only item on Thingiverse.
