Hey you A.H. TP 2.0-ers, you know who you are !!
Wanted to bring this thread up from the archives to keep up to date on what's happening.
My new 3/4" gloss black acrylic lid is completed, took some time, I've been busy with other stuff.
It looks beautiful and functions as a damping device.
Cooling is not a problem, plus there are no holes for mounting, it "sets into" the top of the chassis by a step I cut around the outside diameter.
The bottom edge that rests on the top of the chassis has been lined with strips of black adhesive-back felt.
Gravity and the weight alone keep it in place.
What I didn't say is the four hours + I spent on the Bridgeport after work, shaving and fine-tuning this sucker to fit like a glove.
The looks and sound are well worth it, pictures will be available soon.
