    Good stuff, seems a shame you can’t buy a vice with a quick release “lever” manufactured in uk anymore? (The eclipse is apparently now made in China I believe)

    Loads of second hand vintage (and pre-modern Irwin era) Record vices on eBay mate. Cheaper and better than anything new anyway. It's just a shame none of them have the dog along with the quick release, but you can always make your own dog for it.

    Very slick, but mine is insulated and has electronics underneath, removed from printer, safely away from heated chamber. Not going for looks but able to print in chamber ABS, polythene, nylon etc. All materials from scrap including £1 Perspex offcut.. apart from Iko Enatherm sheet. How much did you spend on all those tools? LOL - learn to use hand tools. Mine cost £20 and some screws and Tightbond..

    what's crazy is the amount of time and detail put into this, yet it doesn't have much R value, or exhaust, which is the main reason to make an enclosure. I took $20 of XPS foam and made a box, put a CPU fan and some ducting in the back, for a fraction of the time and money, and it's light weight

    Make a groove on the inside of one of the legs and out the bottom before assembly to accept the lamp cord. Makes for a much neater appearance, especially if the cord is brown or translucent. You can cut the groove just wide enough so the cord is friction fit or cut it deeper and cut a small strip to cover the cord entirely. Otherwise, great build and appearance.
