Confirmation of Build / layout
Thanks - designed the frame in Tinkercad and then ordered all the aluminum cut to length - went together like a construction kit.
I didn't have access to a drill press so bought a cheap one from China for about $10 - lasted just long enough to complete all the drilling.
Any wires that needed pass through drilled holes in the aluminum were fixed in place with hot glue - didn't want them rubbing on the frame.
Remember to run a ground/earth from the power cord to the frame - you're running at high V/C and the last thing you want is a shock!
Having a 3d printer allowed me to print cable guides "on the fly" gluing them to the frame with high viscosity super glue. Any glue spots on the aluminium were first cleaned with a little glass paper and wiped with Acetone.

Uh, would you mind sharing the 3d models for the 5-way wago mounts?
Got acces to a printer but i'm not that proficient in modelling

There are several different Wago style clips here - if you get stuck then PM me?
If you want any thing else modeled give me a shout.
